How to plant
The seed card is made from recycled paper and contains flower seeds in its structure. Plant them in a sunny spot outside, water them, and wait until they sprout.
1. Tear up the card into small pieces and bury them right under the surface of the soil.
2. Water generously. Do not allow the soil to dry out before the seedlings appear.
3. Do not forget to water your flowers periodically if it hasn’t rained for a while
