Seed Paper Products
All the Seed Paper products, including Seed Paper Banners, Seed Paper Cake Toppers, Cards, Favors, and Confetti are plantable! Meaning they will grow wildflowers when you mix them with water and soil.
Our seed paper is made with 100% recycled ingredients; bio-degradable, non-invasive and non-GMA seeds, no chemicals or dyes are used in production.
You can also compost these products.
If you do not plant these products you can throw them away in the trash can. They are still better than throwing away paper or plastic.
Planting instructions:
How to plant
1. Soak the seed paper in water overnight.
2. Loosen the soil or fill a planter pot ¾ of the way with potting soil.
