European Honey Bee Plantable Note Card

Send a little sweetness that can bloom into something beautiful. This European Honey Bee Note Card features an original illustration of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera), printed on cream-colored plantable paper made from post-consumer waste.

The paper is embedded with a cheerful mix of wildflower seeds, so after the card has been enjoyed, it can be planted instead of tossed away. Each card comes with a recycled kraft envelope and is blank inside, leaving plenty of room for your own message.

Plant It & Watch It Grow

When it’s time to give your card a second life, cover the paper with about 1/8 inch of soil in an area with full to partial sun. Keep the soil moist while the seeds establish. With proper care, sprouts may begin emerging in approximately 4–6 days.

Wildflower Seed Mix:
Bird’s Eye • Clarkia • Black-Eyed Susan • Sweet Alyssum • Catchfly • Snapdragon
