How to Plant our Packaging
Prepare your pot with soil
Prepare your pot with soil. Make sure that the soil is moist- you'll need more water than you think. Crumbly brownie mix is what you are going for!
Wet the plantable paper
You can use a spray bottle or a thin stream of water from the sink. The paper should be thoroughly wet but not disintegrating.
Cover paper with thin layer of soil
Place the paper on the soil and cover 1/8th inch of soil over the plantable paper. Tamp down gently.
Make sure you keep the paper moist!
You're done for now! Make sure that you continue to keep the soil/ paper moist at all time during germination. If you want to speed up germination, you can cover the pot with either a clear bag or clear box to create a "greenhouse" event. This helps keep the germination environment moist and warm. Ideal temperature range for germination is 70-75 degrees F.
Sprouts!!!
Once sprouts appear, this is where the fun begins! Be sure to keep the paper moist but be careful not to overwater! Continue to care for the plant with adequate sunlight and water.
There are 6 Seeds in Our Plantable Packaging
-
Bird's Eye (Gilia tricolor)
This daisy-like annual wildflower is a member of the famous Gilia family. It is a western native but will thrive anywhere with sunny and relatively dry conditions. The dark contrasting central eyes and yellow throats are known to attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. -
Clarkia (Clarkia unguiculata)
These vibrant wildflowers look great in all kinds of gardens and grow easily. They typically bloom at the end of the wildflower season, so they have often been called “Farewell-to-Spring”. Native to western North America, Clarkia is an annual plant that will grow up to 1 meter tall. -
Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
This cheerful blossom is most at home in prairie lands, plains, meadows, and pastures where it will attract birds, bees and butterflies. Members of the beautifully golden sunflower family, these North American blooms are one of the most recognized wildflowers! -
Catchfly (Silene ameria)
This bountiful wildflower produces clusters of large, globe-shaped blooms on long stems and will thrive in full sun or partial shade. It grows great even in poor soil conditions and can withstand high temperatures. -
Snapdragon (Linaria maroccana)
An extremely easy to grow annual, these quick blooming flowers are a favorite for their unique and elegant appearance. With a range of colors from pink, red, yellow and purple, the bi-colored blooms attract hummingbirds and butterflies making them a wonderful addition to any garden. -

A low-growing annual plant, Sweet Alyssum has a branched stem that has dense clusters of small flowers. The flowers are about 5 mm around and have a sweet smell similar to that of honey. They'll bloom throughout the growing season, or year-round in areas free of frost.
