How to Plant your Wildflower Seed Label
Turn your packaging into something beautiful
Plant your label. Grow something amazing.
Attract pollinating insects into your garden and help our ecosystem flourish by planting the label from your Bloom In Soap product.
Our plantable labels are infused with over 25 varieties of UK native wildflowers, produced at a UK paper mill. Once planted, the paper naturally breaks down in the soil, allowing the wildflower seeds to germinate and bloom - creating a small but meaningful haven for bees, butterflies and other vital pollinators.
It’s our way of making sure that nothing goes to waste, and that every part of your skincare purchase gives something back to the planet.
A little act of care. A lasting ripple of impact.

Planting FAQ's
What time of year can I plant my labels?
It's always best to plant your labels during autumn as wildflower seeds require a winter season to germinate. This will give you the best wildflower show the following spring.
You can also plant your labels in early spring. You may see shoots appear mid summer or the following spring.
Where do I plant my labels?
Get your seeds going indoors by planting them in a pot. Give the pot a good water and create a micro climate by placing a clear compostable bag secured with string over the pot. Place on a warm, sunny windowsill keeping the soil watered and moist until shoots appear. Once the shoots get stronger, plant in your garden or container.
You can also plant your labels directly into the ground. Gently rake the soil and place the pre-soaked paper on the soil and cover with 1cm of soil.
Do I need compost?
No! Wildflowers actually grow better in very poor soil so the soil in your flowerbeds will be more than adequate.
