When is the best time to plant Blossombs?

Blossombs can be thrown out year-round. They will hatch in spring (provided they are not eaten by birds or insects). Flowering time: April to October.

Are Blossombs organic?

Yes, Blossombs are organic. Our Blossombs are made from 100% natural ingredients and organic wildflower seeds. We use organically certified flower seeds and Blossombs is Skal certified.

This is important to us, because with our seed bombs we want to support nature and biodiversity as much as possible. This means you are not only giving something cheerful and colorful, but also a gift made with care for people, bees, butterflies and nature.

Where can you throw the Blossombs?

Add color to your neighborhood with Blossombs! Throw them in your garden, around your house or in a pot on your balcony. Or create a flower paradise on vacant land in urban areas.

Caution! Blossombs may not be thrown into protected natural areas.

How long does it take until the flowers bloom?

After a few days, the Blossombs "burst open" and you will see the first, small plants appear. Then it takes another +/- 8 weeks before the first flowers appear. Flowers only grow from spring onwards when the weather gets warmer, but beware (!) they are wild flowers and only grow outside with enough space, light and above all: nutrition. You can grow them indoors and they will germinate, but for them to grow any further there is simply not enough nutrition in a pot.

The Blossombs are meant for outdoors and then they work just like anything ordinary seeds and flowers in nature. Where a Blossomb has multiple seeds that germinate at different times. Some seeds germinate in the spring, others in the summer or even after. So the bees (and you) can enjoy flowers throughout the season.

In short: patience requested until nature does its work and you, the bee and the butterflies can enjoy the most beautiful, wild flowers!

Tips to outsmart birds

Place a little bird food nearby, about 5 feet away from your Blossombs. The birds will then be more likely to flock to the food and leave the Blossombs. Make sure there are no "smart" birds (crows, magpies and jackdaws) around at the time you want to plant the Blossombs. This is because if you walk around and place things on the ground in the line of sight of such a smart bird, you can be sure that they will look at it (and take it) shortly after you are gone! Plant the Blossombs when the soil is moist and soft, then gently push them into the earth with your shoe. Note: definitely do not bury them completely (!), but cover them with a little reed, tree bark or a few leaves if necessary.

How many Blossombs can you place in a pot?

Per round pot with a diameter of 20cm you can put 1 to 3 Blossombs. When using 3 Blossombs you will have a fuller growth in the pot. Caution! Flowers may compete with each other and will probably not all grow equally well. Do you have an elongated balcony pot? Then you can put about 3 to 6 Blossombs in 1 meter.

Are you throwing the Blossombs in the full ground? Then for optimal growth you can place about 4 Blossombs on 1m2, more is also possible for a fuller effect. If necessary, you can support the flowers later in the season with a plant support.

How long do Blossombs keep?

Blossombs will keep for at least two years, as long as you keep them dry and cool. They can often germinate even after that, but the fresher, the better!

What is the best way to care for Blossombs?

After tossing or planting (lightly pressing, not digging in), it is important to keep the Blossombs well moist until the seeds have germinated and the first plants become visible. This usually happens within a few days to a few weeks. Is nature not helping with a rain? Then water regularly yourself and preferably every day in dry weather. This way you give the flowers a flying start and provide a feast for bees and butterflies!

How big are Blossombs seed bombs?

We have two different sizes: Medium and Small Blossombs.

  • Medium Blossombs are approximately 20 mm in diameter.
  • Small Blossombs are approximately 15 mm in diameter.

The sizes may vary slightly, as we work with natural materials.

Are Blossombs annuals, or do they come back for several years?

Blossombs mainly contain annual wildflowers. This means that most flowers grow and bloom in the same year. They bring color and provide food for bees and butterflies.

Some species, such as yellow sweet clover, are usually biennial. This means they often bloom in the second year, although in some cases they may already flower in the first year.

In addition, certain species can reseed themselves or come back for several years under the right conditions. Examples include common mallow, oxeye daisy, ribwort plantain and salad burnet. Whether this happens depends on the location, soil, care and weather.

So it is possible that flowers will appear again in the following years, but we cannot guarantee this.
