Flower Seed Balls
An Ancient Seed-Planting Tradition Lives Again
When Native Americans sowed their crops, they didn’t use tractors
or plows. To keep valuable seed from blowing away or being eaten
by birds, they often hid it inside little balls of clay. The same method
works well today: just scatter these seed balls on prepared soil and water
well. Hummingbird Seed Balls contain larkspur, Shasta daisies, scarlet sage, and 20 other
flowers preferred by hummingbirds (full list at left)
Wildflower Seed Balls contain bluebells, black-eyed Susans, Indian blanket and 21 more
(full list at left)
Forget-Me-Not Seed Balls contain several dozen seeds of the heavenly blue wildflower Myosotis sylvatica
Seeds will germinate in 7 to 30 days
Pack of 16 seed balls
Each ball contains 20-30 seeds
Coverage is 1 square foot per ball
Suitable for hardiness zones 4-10
Place in full sun, keep moist

Smaller than I had expected, but haven't had a chance to try them. Will find out in the spring if they are all they claim.

Comments about Flower Seed Balls:
Dear Gardeners - I always enjoy your products and
catalogs. I like the seed balls I ordered for a business colleague. However I was very surprised that the bags were so small. I think your catalog shows them as big, old burlap bags! Not a major problem, just a jolt when they arrived.
Happy New Year to all "gardeners" in 2010
