This eco-friendly Grab bag contains 100 seedballs, a gorgeous mix of colourful native wildflower annuals – Poppy, Chamomile, Cornflower, Corn marigold, and Night-flowering catchfly. All will flower in their first Spring / Summer season and are ideal for attracting pollinators and other garden wildlife.

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.

Each bag of Annual Mix contains 100 seed balls. They’re really easy to use, simply scatter on top of soil in a garden bed or planter. One bag of seed bombs will cover 5 square metres in a garden bed or 15-25 medium sized pots (leave at least 10cm between each ball).Best scattered in Spring or Autumn.

This Grab bag includes:
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) - Annual - Height: 90cm - Flowers: June to August
Cornflowers are edible. They have a cucumber-like taste. Flowers can be consumed in the form of salad and tea, or used as a garnish.

Common Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) - A bright red flowering annual - hugely popular and often used as a symbol of remembrance.
Height: 30-60cm - Flowers: May to July
The remembrance poppy is the common field poppy, one of the first wildflowers to colonise disturbed ground or fallow cornfields. It became identified with the battle zones of the First World War, or Flanders Fields, which were originally corn fields.

Corn Marigold (Glebionis Segetum) - A medium height annual plant, its flowers are golden-yellow discs with prominent ray florets.
Height: 51-60cm - Scatter: late summer to mid April, but the best results are usually obtained in early spring
Flowers: June to October

Night Flowering Catchfly (Silene noctiflora) - Similar in appearance to white campion but covered with sticky hairs and more deeply notched petals. So pretty!
Flowers: July-September - Height: 75-80cm

Corn Chamomile (Anthemis Arvensis) - A cheerful cornfield flower, this lovely annual produces large, daisy-like flowers throughout summer and autumn and is highly attractive to pollinators.
Flowers: May to August - Height: up to 50cm
