These plantable dragon favors are a super earth-friendly parting gift for a variety of special events. The dragons are hand made from plantable flower seed paper. Each one can be planted to grow!
Choose the color of plantable dragon - it doesn't have to be purple or hot pink, we can do custom assortments of any color scheme. Purple and green dragons are standard for birthdays. Hot pink dragons are standard for Valentines. You can request a color at checkout by typing a note into the 'message to seller' box.
Select cards from the menu. Planting instructions are printed on the back of the cards. The cards are an item you must add using the drop down menu.
Examples of cards for use as Valentine's Day and birthday favors appear in the photos. You can request the style of card you prefer - just select 'Valentine' for the card type from the menu or 'birthday.'
Personalize them!
Yes, we can add your child's name to the card, or include another word or phrase. Select cards from the menu and then at checkout after you add the item to cart and go to checkout, the next page has a text box you can type into. That is the perfect place to include the text you would like printed.

{ PLANTING SEEDS }
We make our seed paper on a made-to-order basis to promote freshness. Our premium mix of garden flower seeds contains annuals, for first year color, and also beautiful perennials for blooms in the years to follow. Our unique flower seed blend is a mix of zinnia, cosmos, snapdragons, columbine, red and pink poppies, shasta daisies, black-eyed susans, cornflowers, calendula, dianthus/Sweet Williams, marigolds and other desirable garden flower seeds. Cheaper seed paper too often contains too many lower quality 'wildflower' type seeds that are essentially weeds, not long stemmed garden flowers. We use only premium garden flower seeds, and also include perennials in the mix!
Our plantable paper really does grow - those are sprouts growing right out of the plantable paper in the photos. Planting instructions are included. The paper keeps 12-18 months if kept dry and out of direct sunlight. Plantable paper is best when it's fresh, which is why we make all of the paper made-to-order!
To grow the dragons:
Simply plant under a thin layer of soil in a warm, sunny spot and keep damp. The paper can be started indoors in a small pot at any time of year as long as they are kept warm and sunny. Move outside in the spring after the threat of frost has passed to promote continued growth. Or, save them until spring and plant then when conditions are perfect. For best results, plant in the right time of year for your zone and keep continuously damp to promote germination. Monitor and care for them as needed.
