Product Description

This eco-friendly Kew grab bag contains 100 seedballs, each packed with a mix of native UK wildflowers specially selected to thrive in dappled sunlight or partial shade.

Perfect for garden beds, balcony pots, window boxes, and wildlife-friendly spaces. These bags are plastic free (made from paper) and can be home composted, making it a sustainable gift for gardeners, nature lovers, and eco-conscious friends.

Delivery to UK only.

Each bag of Shade Mix contains 100 seed balls, enough to cover 5 square metres in a garden bed or 15-25 medium sized pots (leave at least 10cm between each ball).

This mix is designed for spots which receive only dappled sun or sun for just one part of the day (although will grow equally well in areas of full sun). Best scattered in Spring or Autumn.

Each ball contains approximately 30 seeds from a mixture of Bellflower, Forget-me-not, Meadow buttercup, Meadowsweet, Oxeye daisy, Ragged robin and Red campion.

Bellflower (Campanula trachelium)

  • A medium to tall perennial with beautiful bell-shaped blue flowers.
  • Height: 50-100cm

  • Forget-me-not (Myosotis arvensis)

  • Short annual with blue-grey flowers occasionally interspersed with pink flowers.
  • Height: 10-40cm
  • Flowering months: April to October
  • Forget me nots have been used in the past for their astringent properties. The name Myosotis is derivation of the Latin and Greek for mouse and ears.
  • Meadow Buttercup (Ranunculus acris)

  • The tallest and most elegant of our native buttercups. This native winter-green perennial is found on most grazed or cut grasslands throughout Britain, but has a preference for moist soils.
  • Height: 5-90cm
  • Sowing months: Autumn or Spring
  • Flowering months: April to October
  • Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria)

  • A tall grassland perennial with clusters of creamy white flowers.
  • Height: 60-90cm
  • Flowering months: June to September
  • Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)

  • Perennial.
  • Height: 30-90cm
  • Flowering months: May to September
  • In Austria and Germany oxeye daisies were hung inside the house as it was believed they would repel lightning.
  • Ragged Robin (Lychnis flos-cuculi)

  • Beautiful tall perennial with raggedy red flowers.
  • Height: 30-50cm
  • Flowering months: June to July
  • Red Campion (Silene dioica)

  • A perennial with rose pink petals.
  • Height: 20-60cm
  • Flowering months: March to November
  • Silenus the merry god of the woodlands in Greek mythology, gave his name to Silene dioica. The second part of its scientific name, dioica, means 'two houses', and refers to the fact that each Red Campion plant has flowers of one sex only, so that two plants are needed to make seeds.
