Wildflowers for Native Pollinators Seed Bomb – Mixed Australian Native Seeds

Create a colourful display of Australian native wildflowers while providing valuable flowers for native bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinating insects.

Each seed bomb contains a seasonal mixture of Australian native flowering species, ranging from compact daisies and everlastings to distinctive kangaroo paws and flowering native climbers. The exact mix may vary according to seed availability, and not every seed bomb will contain every species listed.

Suitable for native gardens, cottage-style plantings, pollinator gardens, large pots and unique gardening gifts.

Species May Include

• Golden Cluster Everlasting (Rhodanthe humboldtiana)
• Swan River Daisy (Brachyscome iberidifolia)
• Pink and White Everlasting Daisy (Rhodanthe chlorocephala subsp. rosea)
• Dwarf Strawflower – Coloured Mix (Xerochrysum bracteatum)
• Billy Buttons (Craspedia globosa)
• Red and Yellow Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos flavidus)
• Blue Lace Flower (Trachymene coerulea)
• Native Wisteria (Hardenbergia comptoniana)
• Coral Creeper (Kennedia coccinea)
• Ashburton Pea (Swainsona maccullochiana)

Other Australian native species may be included when seasonally available.

Why Grow Wildflowers for Native Pollinators?

A varied flowering garden can provide pollen, nectar and shelter for native insects while adding colour and diversity to your outdoor space.

Because the seed mix contains plants with different growth habits and flowering periods, established plants may produce flowers progressively rather than all at once. Results will vary depending on the species supplied and local growing conditions.

How to Plant

1. Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil.
2. Remove weeds and lightly loosen the soil surface.
3. Place the seed bomb onto the prepared soil.
4. Press it gently into the surface to ensure good soil contact.
5. Do not bury it deeply.
6. Water thoroughly after planting.
7. Keep the area consistently moist while the seeds germinate.

The seed bomb can also be planted in a large pot or raised garden bed filled with a quality, free-draining seed-raising or native potting mix.

Growing Information

Australian native seeds may germinate at different rates. Some seedlings may emerge within several weeks, while others may take considerably longer or require suitable seasonal conditions.

Keep the area lightly moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. Once seedlings are established, gradually reduce watering and provide care according to the needs of each plant.

Some species in the mix may be climbing or trailing plants. These may require a trellis, fence or other support as they develop. Thin or transplant crowded seedlings once they are large enough to handle.

Important Note

The exact species and proportions included will vary according to seasonal seed availability. Every seed bomb may contain only a selection of the species listed.

Germination cannot be guaranteed, as results are affected by temperature, moisture, soil preparation, planting depth, weather and ongoing care.

Plant only in managed gardens or containers. Do not distribute seed bombs into bushland, national parks, roadsides, reserves or other natural areas, as Australian native species are not necessarily native to every local ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every seed bomb contain every species listed?

No. Each seed bomb contains a seasonal selection of native wildflower seeds. The exact species and quantities will vary according to availability.

How long will germination take?

Germination varies between species. Some seeds may emerge within several weeks, while others may take several months or respond only when temperature and moisture conditions are suitable.

When should I plant the seed bomb?

Plant during mild to warm weather when the soil can be kept consistently moist. Avoid planting immediately before extreme heat, frost, heavy rain or prolonged dry conditions.

Can it be grown in a pot?

Yes. Choose a large pot with drainage holes and use a free-draining seed-raising or native potting mix. Some species may become climbers and require support.

How many plants will grow?

The number of seedlings cannot be guaranteed. Results depend on the species included, seed viability, weather, soil conditions and ongoing care.

Do the flowers all bloom at the same time?

Not necessarily. The mix contains species with different growth rates and flowering periods, so flowers may appear progressively over an extended period.

Can the seedlings be transplanted?

Yes. Wait until seedlings have developed several true leaves and are large enough to handle. Lift them carefully to minimise root disturbance.

Will these plants attract pollinators?

The flowering species are intended to provide a pollinator-friendly garden display. The insects attracted will depend on which plants establish, when they flower and the pollinator species present in your area.

Does the seed bomb need fertiliser?

Avoid strong fertilisers during germination. Once seedlings are established, a mild fertiliser suitable for Australian native plants can be applied according to its directions.
