Kew - Wildlife Mix - Grab Bag
100-ball grab bag, ideal for creating larger wildflower patches.
A carefully selected mix designed specifically to support garden wildlife, including bees, butterflies, birds, beetles, hedgehogs and bats – wildflowers are brilliant habitats for garden biodiversity, providing and attracting food while also offering shelter.
Includes Common Poppy, Wild Carrot, Corn Marigold, Red Clover Greater Knapweed, Sheep Sorrel, Yellow Rattle, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Tufted Vetch and Self Heal.
Each bag 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).
Scatter at any time from early Spring until late Autumn.
These bags are plastic free (made from paper) and can be home composted. With their colourful designs they can also work nicely as a wildlife gardening gift.
Delivery to UK only.
