Too many gardens and green spaces are lacking colour or fun. Seed bombs (a.k.a. seed balls) are a fun way to grow wildflowers, minus the gardening. You simply scatter or throw, make sure the seeds are watered and voila, wildflowers.

Requiring little gardening effort, fertilising and no pesticides or herbicides - wildflowers have to be the perfect backyard addition. They’re great for beginner gardeners, the green fingered or guerrilla gardeners.

As well as their low maintenance, easy going ways and charming good looks, wildflowers offer some pretty amazing benefits:

• wildflowers provide critical habitats for pollinators and insects. Creating and maintaining important ecosystems. The bees, butterflies and lady bugs will love you for it. They’ll pollinate your garden and keep pesky insects in check

• they prevent soil erosion

• wildflowers can grow in poor soil conditions where other plants couldn’t thrive
