West Coast Seeds ships anywhere in North America. However, we are not able to ship garlic, potatoes, asparagus crowns, bulbs, onion sets, Mason bee cocoons, or nematodes outside of Canada. We regret, we cannot accept returns or damages for orders outside of Canada. The minimum shipping charge to the US is $9.99.
For every order online, we donate a pack of seeds to gardens and communities worldwide through our Seeds of Growth program, supporting sustainable growth and local food systems.

Timing
Timing
For best results, plant seed bombs in autumn just before the ground freezes. They can also be planted in early spring after undergoing a simulated winter—store them in the freezer for at least two months before use. When spring temperatures sit between 2–10°C, drop or press the seed bombs into place. If temperatures rise above 10°C, thaw the bombs at room temperature for two days before planting. Summer planting is possible but may delay germination until the following year.
Starting
Starting
For controlled placement, gently press the seed bomb into the soil without burying it. If launching them, keep in mind that they may not bloom exactly where they land. Leaves or mulch can be placed overtop for protection during winter, but should be removed in spring. In fall, seed bombs can be set directly onto soil, at ground level, or even placed on snow.
Days to Maturity
Days to Maturity
Seeds typically sprout in 4–8 weeks. Some species require a winter cycle to break dormancy and may not emerge until the following year.
Growing
Growing
Seed bombs thrive in well-draining soil and require very little maintenance. They are drought-tolerant and usually rely on natural rainfall for moisture. For spring planting, place them onto bare soil just before rainfall or watering and keep the area well-soaked during the early stages of growth. Light requirements vary by blend: Full Sun blends include Bee Zen Blend, Butterfly Garden, Eco Warrior Blend, No Brainer Container, and Radiating Sunflowers. Partial Shade blends include Bee Zen Blend, Butterfly Garden, Eco Warrior Blend, and No Brainer Container. Zen in the Shade performs best in full shade.
Seed Info
Seed Info
Each Radical Roots mix contains native wildflower seeds selected for Canadian regions, including blends sourced from Central British Columbia and the Saskatchewan Prairie region. Seed viability remains strong even when germination is delayed due to seasonal conditions. Usual seed life varies by species but remains high when stored in cool, dry conditions.
West Coast Seeds is a family-owned company that embraces an organic lifestyle. A group of imagination catalysts and passionate educators, dedicated to producing products and services that better the environment. As part of our mission to repair the earth, we aim to inspire and empower people to take responsibility for the state of the planet. For us, organic is about much more than saying no to chemicals, it is about saying yes to building a healthy soil for the future.
For over 35 years, we have upheld our strong reputation as a leading seed supplier, seeking out the highest quality untreated seeds for organic growing and putting them through rigorous independent testing. We built our company on the exchange of generational wisdom in a masterclass community of newbies and masters alike. Our world may have changed, but our commitment to our people, our customers, and our planet has not.
We’re a values-based business that has blossomed into a lifestyle ethos, with products that support seeders, feeders, keepers, and the tiniest of creepers. Our mission? To mobilize the next generation of gardeners with products that nourish soil and grow vigorous, sustainable gardens. We believe all plants should be grown without the use of chemicals, and that the seeds we supply are an important component of regenerative gardening.
We don’t just offer seeds, we offer experience, insight, and understanding. From timeless garden wisdom to new tech know-how, this is learning on the job: knowledge gleaned not from the pages of a book but from burying our fingers in the soil. We test, experiment, observe and adapt, never happier than when we get to share what we’ve learned with others.
Gardens don’t just grow seeds. They grow minds and imaginations, people and communities. Our vision encompasses both the micro and the macro. We eat locally, protect pollinators, teach people to grow from seed, and support regional biodiversity. We think big but act small and deliver unexpected impact — always with community and purpose.
At West Coast Seeds we believe in the power of small and that little can be large. Like the tiniest seed germinates to evoke incremental change with massive potential, so to can our community of gardeners and growers together. Gardeners are the earth’s stewards, planting seeds of creative declaration. The soil provides the canvas, we provide the seeds.
Planting seed bombs is most successful in autumn, just before the ground begins to freeze. They can also be planted in spring, but the bombs should be stored in the freezer for at least two months beforehand. Once spring temperatures sit between 2°C and 10°C, you can drop or launch them directly onto the soil. If temperatures are warmer than 10°C, let the bombs thaw at room temperature for two days before planting. Planting during summer is less reliable, as germination may not occur until the following year; the seeds will remain viable, but visible growth may be delayed a full season.
If you choose to launch your seed bombs, keep in mind that they may not bloom exactly where they land. For more controlled placement, gently press the seed bomb into the soil without burying it, and cover it with leaves or mulch if desired, remembering to remove the mulch in spring. In autumn, the bombs can be placed directly onto the soil, at ground level, or even on top of freshly fallen snow.
Seed bombs require very little maintenance once placed. They are naturally drought-tolerant and can depend primarily on rainfall for moisture. For spring planting, set the bombs on bare soil just before a rain or watering, and keep the area well-soaked until the seeds begin to establish.
Sprouting typically takes between four and eight weeks, though some species may wait an entire year if they require a natural winter cycle to break dormancy. Summer plantings may also delay germination until the following growing season, depending on conditions.
Since seed bombs contain wildflower mixes, the “harvest” is the bloom itself and the habitat it creates. Different blends perform best under different light conditions: full-sun mixes include Bee Zen Blend, Butterfly Garden, Eco Warrior Blend, No Brainer Container, and Radiating Sunflowers; partial-shade blends include Bee Zen Blend, Butterfly Garden, Eco Warrior Blend, and No Brainer Container; and full-shade gardeners can enjoy Zen in the Shade.
All Radical Roots seed bombs are native to zones 2b–7b, with region-specific blends sourced from British Columbia and Saskatchewan to maintain the integrity of Canadian native species.
