Forget-me-not seedball tin

Forget-me-nots are bee friendly pollinator plants and are relatively low-growing plants and so are perfect for growing in smaller pots, although they are still rich in nectar to support bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

Scatter onto soil in tin and water.

Tin containing 3 seedballs (approximately 90 seeds)

Tin size: Diameter 9cm / Height 10cm / Weight 81g.

These forget-me-not seeds are held in clay, peat-free compost (to naturally protect the seeds from being eaten by birds and insects) and chilli powder (to deter slugs and snails from eating the young shoots).

• Best planted in Spring or Autumn, the seeds will germinate with water. Shoots can be seen within 2-4 weeks, but will also bloom the following year.  We would advise or 3-5 seed balls for a 35cm container. 
• Try them in a pot in a nice sunny spot so it's easy to keep an eye on them.  Scatter on top of soil or compost (no digging required) in the tin pot, water well and nature will do the rest. 
• Water them every day when there isn't any rain, keeping them as moist as possible will help them along - but they can still take 4 weeks to show signs of growth.
• If planting directly into a garden avoid scattering onto grass.
• If there are lots of squirrels around it might be worth covering the pot as they can sometimes pinch the seedballs!
