Our Midwest seed bombs are now available at the Sprout Flowers at 104 East Austin St. in Fredericksburg, TX. Is Texas in the Midwest? No, not exactly, but our low-maintenance wildflower mixture works just fine out there.
We make our seed bombs by hand in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati, using a mix of bird-, bee- and butterfly-friendly wildflowers native to the Midwest. Five gumball-sized seed bombs are packed into each little screenprinted muslin pouch, ready for gift-giving.
The wildflower mixture includes Upland White Aster, Prairie Aster, Cornflower, Siberian Wallflower, Shasta Daisy, Lance-Leaf Coreopsis, Plains Coreopsis, Sulphur Cosmos, Wild Cosmos, Sweet William, Purple Coneflower, California Poppy, Perennial Gaillardia, Indian Blanket, Baby’s Breath, Wild Annual Sunflower, Dwarf Sunflower, Dame’s Rocket, Candytuft, Blue Flax, Scarlet Flax, Perennial Lupine, Russell Lupine, Baby Blue Eyes, Evening Primrose, Red Poppy, Mexican Hat, Prairie Coneflower, Black-Eyed Susan, Gloriosa Daisy, and Sweet Coneflower. These wildflowers were chosen because they’re native to the Midwest, but many are actually native to much of North America.
Since their introduction last Spring, our seed bombs have been featured in Vogue, House Beautiful, ReadyMade, Lonny Magazine, and Woman’s Day, among other publications.
Our Midwest seed bombs, and tons of other handmade goodies, are also available in the VisuaLingual online shop.
I just purchased some of these a couple of weeks ago and wanted to let you know that the packaging is really cute, and I’m already starting to see some teeny tiny sprouts in my garden!
