Seed Flower Card

Seedpaper daisy attached to a 2.5"x2.5" info card.

Plantable paper is a biodegradable eco-paper that is made with post-consumer materials (no trees harmed for this paper!) and embedded with seeds. When the paper is planted in a pot of soil, the seeds grow and the paper composts away. All that is left behind is flowers :) 

Your seedpaper will grow any combination of these wildflower varieties:

• Bird's Eye
• Clarkia
• Black Eyed Susan
• Catchfly
• Snapdragon
• Sweet Alyssum

Sustainably handmade in North America!

Spring is the best time to plant if you live in an area where the ground does not freeze. However, fall is ideal if you live in a climate where the ground stays frozen for several months. Seed paper can also be planted indoors year-round in a pot of soil near a window that gets plenty of sunlight.

STEP 1 - PREPARE YOUR POT

Fill your pot 2/3 full with good potting soil. Tamp down the soil and add more if necessary. You want the pot to be firmly full, but not packed. 

STEP 2 - PLANT THE PAPER

Spread a 1/8 inch layer of soil over the plantable paper pieces and tamp down gently.

STEP 3 - WATER DURING GERMINATION

After planting the paper in your pot, give it a good soak. You want the paper and the soil to be nicely damp but not swimming in water. During the first 10 days, keep the paper moist at all times. The water is necessary for germination.

STEP 4 - CARE AFTER GERMINATION

Once sprouts appear, continue to keep the paper moist but be careful not to overwater. Once sturdy plants appear, water as needed.
