Description

This plantable greeting card will grow wildflowers!!!

The inside of this card is blank.

A2 size – 4.25" x 5.5"

Writing on the card will not affect the soil or flowers! You can use any writing utensil available, but the best results will be from a regular ballpoint pen. Our supplier has had 3rd party lab testing done and have found no negative impacts to the soil or flowers as a result of the ink printed on the card or ink written in them. Happy planting!

* Design for "Freaking Human" is slightly different to the image(dark silhouette)

Packaging

The card comes with a paper envelope.

Materials

All cards are made with plantable seed paper — a biodegradable eco-paper that is made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials collected from schools and businesses (no trees harmed in the making!). The cards are printed with water-based inks (~80%). The remainder of the ink is pigments, which are tested by a 3rd party lab to ensure they do not leave harmful residues in soil. The only other ingredient? Seeds!


The paper includes 7 different types of wildflowers seeds, including:
Bird's Eye - Annual
Clarkia - Annual
Black Eyed Susan - Perennial
Catchfly - Annual
Snapdragon - Annual
English Daisy - Perennial
Sweet Alyssum - Annual


These seeds are all non-GMO and also tested by a 3rd party lab to ensure they are free of noxious weeds. Note: individual states may have their own regulations about what is and isn't "invasive" in the area — please check your state's list of invasive species before planting!

Envelopes are made of A2 size, recycled kraft paper.

End of Life

Planting Instructions:

  1. soak the seed paper in water overnight.
  2. loosen the soil (outdoor) or fill a pot with potting soil (indoor).
  3. remove a light layer of soil and place the seed paper.
  4. add the light layer of soil back over the top of the seed paper to retain moisture.
  5. water generously, especially for the first 4-6 weeks.
  6. enjoy your wildflowers!

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Julian G. ★★★★★

My mom cried when she planted the card and saw the wildflower seeds embedded right in the paper—such a thoughtful way to send a hug. The texture is sturdy enough to write on, and the growing instructions on the back made it foolproof for her.

George S. ★★★★★

The card itself feels sturdy, and I love that the recipient can just plant it in soil after reading—the wildflower seeds are a such a clever touch. My mom planted hers last week and we’re already seeing little sprouts, so it’s honestly the sweetest way to say thank you.

Hannah Q. ★★★★☆

Cards arrived flat and intact even though the envelope got a bit squished in transit. The embedded seeds are evenly distributed across the paper, so the whole design grows into wildflowers rather than just one patch. I’d order again but maybe size up next time for more writing room.
