Poppy Seedballs

£2.89

Add a carpet of vibrant red blooms to borders, pots and roadside verges with our Poppy Seedballs. Each tin contains 20 ready-to-scatter seedballs, each made from clay, peat-free compost and a concentrated portion of poppy seed so the seeds stay protected until conditions are right.

Common Poppy

A bright red flowering annual. 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.

Poppies are celebrated for their showy flowers, easy self-seeding habit and value to garden wildlife — their bright blooms attract bees and other pollinators across the summer months.

Why seedballs

Seedballs are ideal for low-effort rewilding: simply scatter on bare soil or compost in spring or autumn and nature does the rest — no digging required. The clay casing helps reduce seed loss to birds and wind while the enclosed compost gives seedlings a head start.

Why choose these poppy seedballs:

  • Instant colour: Vivid red for a classic wildflower look.

  • Pollinator friendly: Poppies provide nectar and attract bees and beneficial insects.

  • Low effort: Ready-to-scatter, peat-free and perfect for balconies, tubs, paving cracks and small beds.

Seedballs use a simple, low-impact method (clay + peat-free compost + seed — sometimes a pinch of natural chilli to deter predators) to improve germination and reduce waste.

Seedball was founded by conservation scientists to make it easy for people to grow native wildflowers and support pollinators. Seedballs use UK-sourced wildflower seed, peat-free compost and recyclable/compostable packaging where possible, so your purchase helps both bumblebees and more sustainable gardening.

  • Emily & Ana are the creators of Seedball – they want to fill the world with wildflowers.

    They are on a mission to help increase the abundance of British wildflowers and wildlife that depend upon them. They believe that if we can all better use whatever space we have available to us (whether a back garden, balcony, window box, little patio etc) together, we can have a hugely beneficial impact on our local ecosystems. The last 50 years has been witness to huge declines in pollinators and other garden wildlife, but together we can really really do something to reverse this.

  • What is a Seedball?

    A ball made from seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chili powder.

    Why use Seedballs?

    The ball prevents the seeds from being a tasty lunch for birds and insects, thereby increasing the chances of your flowers growing. Plus they’re super easy to use, no digging and no expert knowledge needed!

    What's in the box?

    There are 6 balls in each box, and around 30 seeds per ball.

    How do I use Seedballs?

    Throw onto soil or compost in a garden bed or planter in Spring or Autumn, leaving at least 10cm between each ball. Your Seedball has everything it needs to grow and, once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right, your seeds will germinate!

    What area will my Seedballs cover?

    We would usually advise 20 seed balls per square metre, or 3-5 seed balls for a 35cm container.

    Conservation

    All seed is responsibly sourced in the UK from Flora Locale accredited suppliers, and only ever use peat-free compost.
