This Seedball Artist's Meadow Mix contains 20 Seed Balls Bursting with Wildlife Friendly Wildflower Seeds. Easy to Sow & Grow.

What's Inside?
This seed mix is borne out of a collaboration with contemporary artist Yvonne Coomber. Inspired by the wildflowers growing outside of her studio in Devon, Yvonne painted a canvas for Seedball called ‘Here Is Where All The Wildflowers Grow’. A section of this painting has been taken to create this totally gorgeous design for the Artist’s Meadow Tin, with the seed mix being of those flowers from the painting.

To complete our collaboration the proceeds from the sale of every tin go to the Wildlife Trusts – a totally inspiring conservation charity working to save our wild places while bringing people closer to nature.

Each ball contains approximately 30 seeds per ball from a mix of Common Poppy, Oxeye Daisy, Musk Mallow, Corn Marigold, Purple Field Scabious, Red Campion and White Cow Parsley. Each tin has 20 seed balls, enough to cover 1 metre square in a garden bed or 3-5 medium sized pots (leave at least 10cm between each ball). Best scattered in Spring or Autumn.
