Description
Native flower seed bombs you can plant or even drop to the ground. Their blooms will attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds, make your garden eco-friendlier, with a fantastic perfume. Available in several themes, they will allow you to become heroes for pollinators by renaturalizing portions of your yard, garden, land or even your patio!
Hassle-free native gardening
Our seed bombs arrive to you already cold stratified and already wrapped with enriched potting soil, clay and compost. To be planted in the spring, most northern native plants must undergo a cold treatment of at least 30 days under certain conditions (temperature, moisture, etc.). Good news, we've already done this work for you!
This treatment reproduces the winter conditions and helps deactivate the chemical and physical barriers that delay the germination of the seeds. These protections are a natural adaptation of northern plants, which prevents them from germinating prematurely during a fall or winter thaw followed by a frost. Without cold stratification, germination rates can be very low (3-4%) or even nil if the seeds are older. The clay and potting soil envelope of our seed bombs will allow the seeds to germinate without being eaten by birds or rodents.

Responsible and cruelty-free
The oil used to manufacture synthetic insulation is getting scarcer and more expensive, while down is questionable from an ethical standpoint. Milkweed can be farmed industrially in a win-win formula for nature and humans and performs better than its counterparts.
Respectful of Monarchs
By purchasing a Lasclay product, you are directly helping the monarchs, an endangered species. An abundance of milkweed in rural areas provides them with invaluable breeding grounds before their great migration, after which we harvest the floss.
