Common Toadflax (Linaria vulgaris)

There is an old belief that when you walk around the flower three times it will remove any spells that have been cast on you!

The origin of the name cowslip is unclear, but it may derive from the fact that it grows in meadows well manured by cow dung or cow slips.

Meadow Cranesbill (Geranium pratense)

Perennial.

Height: 30-70cm

The large purple flowers of Meadow cranesbill turn into pointed, bill-like seed pods that give the plant its common name.

The plant is cultivated for its seeds, which are used in perfumes. The plant also yields a fibre that can be used for clarifying sugar.

Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)

In Austria and Germany oxeye daisies were hung inside the house as it was believed they would repel lightning.

Red Campion (Silene dioica)

A perennial with rose pink petals.

Height: 20-60cm

Flowers: March to November

Silenus the merry god of the woodlands in Greek mythology, gave his name to Silene dioica. The second part of its scientific name, dioica, means 'two houses', and refers to the fact that each Red Campion plant has flowers of one sex only, so that two plants are needed to make seeds.

A set of three ‘Christmas Bees’ mini tins – cute and festive wildflower gifts for loved ones, friends, family and teachers and ideal for stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts.

Each tin contains 5 seed balls, each with approximately 30 wildlife-friendly wildflower seeds from a mix of Common Toadflax, Cornflower, Cowslip, Meadow Cranesbill, Musk Mallow, Oxeye Daisy and Red campion.

No green thumbs required! Just scatter the seed balls on soil or compost and let nature take over. Regular watering will help them grow faster. For window boxes, balcony pots, garden beds and wildlife gardens.
