Dusky Moonbeam’s Evening Primrose & Red Clover GrowTub

Grow a groovy night-time mini meadow with Dusky Moonbeam — your disco-loving moth Growimal friend. Perfect for kids, families, eco-heroes and anyone who loves moths, moonlight and mess-free planting fun.

Meet Dusky Moonbeam

Hey boogie buddy! Dusky Moonbeam is ready to dance the night away with you. This glow-loving moth adores boogieing in the spotlight — but only under the cover of darkness. Dusky’s “supervision” means seeing soft ultraviolet and greenish light at night, turning the garden into a glowing dancefloor.

Now Dusky needs your help to grow evening primrose and red clover — a night-garden power duo that keeps nectar flowing after dark and helps caterpillars and other insects thrive.

Each GrowTub includes a personal letter from Dusky, inviting you to become a groove buddy, habitat hero and world replanter — one moonlit mini meadow at a time.

What is a GrowTub?

GrowTubs are character-themed growing kits designed to be fun, mess-free and completely zero-waste. Every component is reusable, recyclable or home-compostable, so once your plants are grown there’s nothing harmful left behind — no plastic pots, no rubbish, no plastic waste.

Each GrowTub features a different Growimal with seeds specifically chosen to support that creature’s world and the habitats they depend on.

What’s Inside

• Seeds
• Peat-free soil (coir)
• Certified home-compostable inner pot
• Simple growing guide
• Character pot insert
• Celebration sticker

Everything is packed inside a beautifully illustrated cardboard GrowTub. Once your seeds are planted, you can reuse the tub in all sorts of creative ways.

What You’ll Grow: Evening Primrose and Red Clover

Your Super Seed Pack contains a mix of tiny evening primrose and red clover seeds.

• Red clover is quick to sprout and forms soft, low patches that help feed pollinators and enrich the soil.
• Evening primrose takes longer, eventually growing tall stems topped with glowing yellow flowers that open in the evening and at night.

The mix is chosen so that something will germinate on a windowsill year-round, with red clover usually appearing first. Later, when the plants are bigger and the weather is mild, you can move them outside to keep your night garden growing.

Why These Plants Help Moths (and Night-time Pollinators)

Evening primrose and red clover make a night garden of dreams:

• Evening primrose flowers open in the evening and at night, serving nectar to moths and other after-dark visitors.
• Red clover provides nectar for bees and other pollinators by day, and cover and food for insects active at dusk and dawn.
• Together, they create a patch of blooms and leaves that supports both caterpillars and adult moths, plus many other pollinating insects.

This mini night garden helps show children that nature doesn’t go to sleep when the sun goes down — the party just changes guests.

Simple Planting Steps

A Grow Guide is included with each GrowTub, with clear, child-friendly instructions. The process of planting a GrowTub is designed for simplicity, joy and circularity — so that each component can be composted, recycled or reused afterwards.

1. Add water to the soil (coir) disc.
2. Sprinkle the evening primrose and red clover seeds evenly over the surface and lightly cover with soil.
3. Wait while the seeds germinate — and use the QR code to learn what the seeds are doing under the soil.
4. Look for shoots after a few days to a week. Red clover usually appears first; evening primrose can take longer to show.
5. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and turn the pot occasionally for even growth.
6. Once the plants outgrow the GrowTub, plant them outside in spring or summer in a sunny or partly sunny spot and let your night garden glow.

Eco Impact

Evening primrose and red clover support a wide range of pollinators and soil life. Evening primrose offers night-time nectar, while red clover boosts soil health and provides daytime food for bees and other insects.

Planting even a small patch of night- and day-friendly flowers helps create a richer, more connected ecosystem — from the soil to the stars.

Why Night-time Pollinators Matter

Moths and other night-time pollinators help pollinate many wild plants and garden favourites, keeping seeds, berries and new growth coming year after year. Light pollution, habitat loss and fewer night-blooming flowers can make life harder for them.

By growing plants that open and feed pollinators after dark, children can see how their actions support a part of nature that’s often hidden from view.

How You Grow Matters

GrowTubs are fully compostable, so they return to the soil with nothing wasted. Plastic pots, by contrast, are made from fossil fuels and can last 200–500 years. They outlive the plant that grew in them many times over and shed persistent pollution and microplastics as they break down.

By choosing a compostable pot, you’re creating habitat — not waste. It’s a far better choice for wildlife, soil health and the planet.

Ideal as a Gift

This GrowTub is a thoughtful gift for children and families who love stars, night-time stories and hidden wildlife. Ideal for birthdays, sleepover activities, nature clubs or just a special treat to make evenings feel a bit more magical.
