Also included are 3 seed balls (approximately 90 seeds in total) to pop on top of the hydrated coir.  The tins can be kept outdoors (a special varnish helps to slow down the rusting process) or a sunny spot on an indoor windowsill. Keep the balls and soil well hydrated (but not too soggy) and in time you’ll have a lovely pot of wildflowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eye-catching colourful designs have been exclusively illustrated for Seedball, with the tins themselves being manufactured in London from Welsh-mined tinplate by the last tin can maker using solar power. The tins will look great on a windowsill, shelf, balcony or counter-top and can have many lives! They can be re-used as indoor plant pots for herbs, succulents or houseplants, or for organising pens, kitchen utensils, and keepsakes.  They are also 100% recyclable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForget-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScatter onto soil in tin and water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTin containing 3 seedballs (approximately 90 seeds)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTin size: \u003cspan\u003eDiameter 9cm \/ Height 10cm \/ Weight 81g.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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).\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest planted in Spring or Autumn, the seeds will germinate with water.
