Where Ideas Sprout and Founders Flourish

Welcome to ICUBE UTM

Your seed packet contains just enough for a small pot (parsley) or a small outdoor space (flowers). Whether on a balcony, backyard, or windowsill—you’re growing something green and good!

Forest Green Parsley

About this plant:

Parsley is more than a garnish—this leafy green is rich in vitamins A and C and adds fresh flavour to salads, soups, and more. Forest Green Parsley has deeply curled leaves and grows well in containers.

How to plant (small pot):

  1. Fill a small pot with potting soil.
  2. Sprinkle seeds and cover with about ¼ inch of soil.
  3. Water gently and keep the soil moist (but not soggy).
  4. Place in a sunny window or outdoors in full sun.
  5. Germinates in 14–21 days. Harvest leaves from the outer edges when full.

Catchfly (Annual Flower)

About this plant:

Catchfly (Silene armeria) is a bright, colourful wildflower with pink and red blooms that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. It’s called “Catchfly” because its sticky stems can trap tiny insects—though it’s totally pollinator-friendly!

How to plant (small outdoor space or planter):

  1. Choose a sunny spot.
  2. Loosen the top layer of soil and scatter the seeds.
  3. Press gently into the soil (don’t cover deeply).
  4. Water lightly and keep moist during germination (7–10 days).
  5. Flowers will bloom through summer—great for pollinators!

Bee Pollinator Meadow Mix

About this mix:

A beautiful blend of wildflowers specially selected to attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. You’ll help restore vital habitat for pollinators while enjoying bursts of colour.

How to plant (small patch or planter box):

  1. Choose a sunny area and clear weeds.
  2. Scatter seeds evenly on loose soil.
  3. Press seeds lightly into soil (do not bury).
  4. Water gently and keep moist for 2–3 weeks.
  5. Watch as a mini wildflower meadow begins to bloom!

Thank you for planting with us!

You’re not just growing flowers and herbs—you’re supporting biodiversity, pollinators, and a greener future.

At ICUBE UTM, we believe that just like great ideas, small seeds can grow into something powerful. Let’s keep nurturing innovation—together.
