plantable

Can be seeded

Plantable describes something that can be planted—either land suitable for cultivation or seeds and seedlings ready to go in the ground: The soil is rocky but plantable.

Recently, plantable has become a marketing term for products embedded with seeds, designed to be buried after use: plantable greeting cards, plantable pencils.
