** Plant them, they grow! **
Each plantable paper dolphin has a mix of perennial and annual flower seeds embedded right inside the paper — you can grow them! Plant them like regular seeds and grow a garden of flowers: Zinnia, poppies, cornflowers, shasta daisies, marigolds, and more! They make totally unique birthday party and baby shower favors and are super sweet to use for valentines. They are fintastic! Biodegradable, no plastic junk that goes to waste.
Add a pack of plantable hearts to go with them, gift bags, and even a set of personalizable cards with planting instructions.
ADD CARDS == > The cards have planting instructions on the back and you can personalize the front. If you would like to add a personalized message/name, you can enter one at checkout. You'll need to order cards to do that.

Dolphins are included with every set. If you choose to add them, cards and bags are DIY packaging. Please let us know if you'd like the red/white string. It isn't automatically included.

{ ADD POTS + FAVOR BOXES }
Plantable pots and gift boxes can be added to your order. They are extra cost. If you would like to add them, you can select them from the drop down menu. Box favors are shown in the last picture. Gift box sets include plantable dolphins, personalized cards to fit your event type, plantable pots to make growing a breeze, gift boxes, and ribbons. Box favors need assembly because the boxes ship flat. Simply fold into shape (no glue or scissors needed), insert pot and paper, close lid and tie the ribbon. Please let us know your color scheme and wording for the card at checkout.
{ PLANTING SEEDS }
We make all of our seed paper on a made-to-order basis to ensure freshness. The seeds included in the paper are a mix of annuals and perennials that include poppies, shasta daisies, snapdragons, pink cosmos, zinnia, cornflowers, dianthus, coreopsis, marigolds, columbine, and more. They are a mix of annuals, for first year color, and perennials for blooms in the years to follow. Planting instructions are included. You'll need to let me know if you need a separate set of planting instructions for each favor. I can send you a PDF of several to a sheet so you can print out as many as you need. Plant as you would other seeds. Keep the paper dry and out of direct sunlight until you're ready to plant it.
To grow the dolphins:
Simply cover with a thin layer of soil and keep damp. The dolphins can be started indoors in a small pot at any time of year, with added warmth. Move outside in the spring after the threat of frost has passed to promote continued growth. Or, save them until spring and plant then. For best results, plant dolphins at a temp of 70ºF just under a thin layer of soil in full sunlight and keep continuously damp to promote germination. Monitor and care for them as needed.
