Flower Seed Balls

Seed balls are an easy, convenient, and sustainable way to cultivate plants in a larger area. Each tube contains 8 seed balls, and each seed ball contains seeds, clay, and compost to help the seeds germinate where they land. Be sure to research the best season for your seeds before tossing your seed balls outside!

Seed Ball Varieties:

• Echinacea purpurea (Purple Coneflower) is native to our region and has medicinal properties! It is also a great choice for pollinators.
