Architectural Beauty: These poppies stand tall on glaucous, blue-green stems, topped with large, cup-shaped blooms that command attention in any border.
Year-Round Interest: Once the petals fall, they leave behind large, decorative seed pods that look stunning in the garden or can be dried for indoor floral displays.
Bee Favorite: The pollen-rich centers are a magnet for bees and other beneficial insects, making them a must-have for eco-friendly gardeners.
Easy to Naturalise: They are incredibly easy to grow and will happily self-seed, providing you with a beautiful, effortless display year after year.
When to Sow: Late summer to autumn (for earlier flowers the following year) or early spring (March – May).
Sowing: Sow directly into finely raked, weed-free soil. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate; simply press them gently into the surface.
Temperature: Germinates best in cool, bright conditions at 12°C – 18°C.
Germination: Usually occurs within 7–14 days.
Care: Thin seedlings to 20cm – 30cm apart. Poppies have a long taproot and do not like being moved, so direct sowing is highly recommended for the best results.
Seeds are supplied in a secure, labelled grip-seal bag.
