Poppy (Organic) Seeds – Mix

Mixed Poppy is a delightful mixture of single and double poppies with a wide variety of colours and shapes. The colours vary from cream to orange and from pink to red, with or without a white rim. There are both single as double flowers. Loved by bees. Flowers June-August. Height 40-50cm (16-20″); spread 30-40 (12-16″).

Sow direct into finely raked, moist, warm soil where the plants are to flower at a depth of 6mm (¼”) and cover the seed lightly with soil. Germination usually takes 10-14 days. Thin out seedlings if necessary to a final spacing of 20cm (8″) apart, removing any competing weeds. Seeds can also be sown in September for flowering the following year.
