Seed Card FAQs
Can I plant my card anywhere?
Any soil will do. In fact, wildflowers love low-quality soil, so save your high-quality compost and rich peat for your more demanding plants. Wildflowers will thrive in good draining soil with low nutrients to deter any grass seed or invasive plants that may want to suck up some free nutrition.
Will my seed card grow in clay soil?
With the correct care, keeping moist for 10 days, clay soil will be able to support wildflowers. Things to note about clay soil is their water retention during wetter seasons and ability to dry out and crack in prolonged heat periods. So during high-heat months ensure consistent watering during the initial phase to keep plants happy.
What wildflowers grow in clay soil?
Expect to see Yarrow, Dusk Mallow, Cowslip, Ragged Robin, Red Clover, Teasel, Meadow buttercup and more.
Can you turn packaging into plants?
Yes. It is becoming a common eco-friendly practice to embed wildflower seeds into the packaging to help beautify the world and boost the natural ecological system. Examples can be seen in brown paper packaging even with linings such as those used for coffee packets. Simply add the packaging to your garden and watch it grow into a new meadow for your home.
Seeded paper is made from recycled paper and 100% compostable.
Can I scatter my wildflower seeds on the ground?
This can work, but the best way is to place into a soil layer, kept moist and weed free.
When should I plant wildflower seeds (what month)?
Spring is ideal and most seeds will last for enough months to see the next planting season. However, September/October is the second best time in autumn when conditions can be ideal with a mix of warmth, sun and rainfall.
Do wildflower plants come back every year?
Annual wildflowers bloom the first year they are sown and die back in winter after producing seeds to grow into new plants. This cycle can continue forever. Some biennial plants won't flower or produce seed until their second year.
What is the most eco-friendly packaging?
Compostable packaging will fully degrade in soil often made from a mix of corn, beets, and sugar cane. This is more common now to help reduce waste in the environment. The next step of this is not only compostable packaging but seeded packaging that will break down and plant wildflower seeds to attract and encourage the growth of wildlife such as bees and bugs to enhance the green spaces and boost nitrogenation of soil.
