iwhat do these mean?
Annual – Plants with a life cycle that lasts only one year. They grow from seed, bloom, produce seeds and die in one growing season. They then need to be replanted each spring. Most annuals bloom for a long time and provide beautiful colours from spring through to autumn before dying off.
Biennial – Plants whose life cycle spans two years, they flower and produce seeds in their second year. They grow as green plants their first year, survive the winter and then bloom the following year. After they bloom and produce seeds, biennial plants then die off.
Perennial – Plants that return year after year and continue growing until they reach maturity, which varies by plant but averages three to five years.
More than one highlighted? – This means the Seedbom contains a mix of varieties with different life cycles for a mix of quick colour and longer lasting growth.
Seedboms are made from a 100% compostable bio-based shell containing organic peat-free compost, and wildflower seeds. Our packaging is 100% biodegradable, recyclable, FSC accredited and glue-free.
Seedboms are created in the UK (our shell casings are made in the Netherlands. All other materials are sourced in the UK).
