✮ Created in collaboration with scientists at the Natural History Museum, this mix includes wildflowers that are perfect for attracting bats into our gardens. A super Christmas stocking filler or gardening gift ✮ ✮ ✮ Bat Mix contains a special mix of wildflowers to attract a wide diversity of insects that bats feed on, including flowers that release their fragrance in the evening when bats are most active in our gardens. The mix also has a s with a combination of long and short tubes and a range of colours and shapes of flower to maximise the number of insects that they attract. ✮ Growing wildflowers from seed balls provides natural protection for the - helping germination rates and growth without complex propagation. Very easy to use - simply scatter on top of soil or compost and let nature do the rest! They'll grow equally well in pots. ✮ Each seed ball contains a mini ecosystem: wildflower are mixed with clay, peat-free compost and a smidgen of chilli powder, and rolled into a small ball. The dried clay acts as a protective casing from common seed predators (such as ants, mice and birds). When sufficient rain permeates the clay, the inside begin to germinate - helped along by the ents and minerals contained within the ball. The chilli powder continues to deter predators while the seed ball slowly degrades and the sprout. ✮ Twenty seed balls (1 tin) per square meter is recommended for a garden, or 3 - 5 seed balls for a small to medium sized pot. ✮ Best scattered in the spring or autumn, and each ball contains approx 30 .✮ ✮ Please be patient with growth, native wildflowers are naturally slow to sprout (2-6 weeks) and flower (not all s will flower in first summer).
