As each sheet is handmade, there will be some variation in appearance & thickness.

PRINTING
Our seed paper can be printed on but care needs to be taken when choosing which thickness and printer to use as some printers do not like seed paper. While we have had no reports of damage to home printers from light use, heavy/commercial use on home printers could result in issues
Laser printers should not be used as excessive heat can destroy the seeds. We do not recommend commercial printers unless they’re experienced with handmade seed paper.

SEEDS
We choose our seed mixes with bees in mind and each sheet includes a variation of some or all of the following: Sweet Alyssum, Poppy, Baby’s Breath, Rudbeckia & Cosmos. These are non-invasive species that are commonly found in garden centres. They can be grown in pots and left outside but we do not recommend disturbing nature by planting any type of seed paper in the wild.

PLANTING
To make sure your seed paper has the best chance of turning into beautiful flowers, be sure to write/print detailed instructions on it.
– Recommended planting time
– Spring/Summer (when it’s warm/hot)
– Soak in water and tear into small pieces
– Place pieces in a pot of compost
– Water and keep the soil and paper moist (do not let it dry out but do not leave it soaking wet either) in a warm and light environment
– Once your small plants have grown, place pot outside or keep on a window that has lots of sun
– Do not plant in nature – eco systems are fragile.
