Planting Guide

How to plant your plantable stationery

Read me, Plant me, Watch me Bloom

Our plantable range is designed and made in Australia using 100% recycled handmade paper with embedded Swan river daisy seeds. The paper is collected from local organisations, business and schools. When the cards are planted, the paper will compost away to leave only flowers. They can be potted or sown directly into the garden soil.

Note that growth success is dependent on the paper being kept moist (and therefore soft) until after the seeds have germinated. Many seeds are embedded in the thickness of the paper and if it dries and hardens, the shoots of the newly germinating seeds will not be able to push through.

It will take 2 to 3 months to see your card turn into an array of beautiful blue, purple, white and pink daisies.

How unique are these cards?

The seeds can be seen as small flecks in the surface of the paper, giving additional interest and texture. Each sheet of our plantable paper is embedded with a multitude of seeds, randomly distributed…Creating a fascinating uniqueness for every card!
