- Nettle Leaved Bellflower – Campanula trachelium
- Field Forget-me-not – Myosotis arvensis
- Meadow Buttercup – Ranunculus acris

Coverage – a pack of 20 seedballs will cover 1-2 sq. metres and the packs of 50 seedballs will cover 3 – 5 sq. metres depending on how thickly the seed balls are scattered.
Sowing Times – Spring or Autumn, scatter the seed balls where they are to flower or pop in pots on top of the compost each box will cover 1-3 pots. Give them a water in dry weather to give them a chance to sprout.
