Seed Bombs

Business Wildflower Seed Bombs  

Help save the NZ Bee population with Seed Bombs! A great product to showcase the environmental side to your business supporting life down in the garden - just throw and grow!  

There is no need to “Plant” seed bombs.  Seed Bombs are designed to be thrown into the garden or any patch where you would like your Wildflowers to grow.  Mother Nature will assist in breaking up the Seed Bomb in the rain.  Each seed bomb contains the seed variety and all nutrients and organic matter required to support generation.  Simply just “throw and grow!”.

Seed bombs can be tossed into the garden in early Spring through to late Autumn for quick germination.  However having such a variety of seeds in each bomb means they can be thrown all year round as the seeds will stay dormant until the temperature is warm enough to germinate.
