Poppy

🌺 Delicate & Dramatic

Poppies are cherished for their papery, translucent petals and intense colours, ranging from soft pastels to vibrant, saturated hues. These iconic flowers add a touch of whimsy and movement to any garden, swaying elegantly in the breeze and providing a brief but spectacular burst of natural beauty.

• Growing: Thrive in full sun and well-draining, moderately fertile soil. They have deep taproots and are generally best suited for cool-season blooming.

• Sowing: Best direct-sown in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or even in late autumn for an earlier spring display. They dislike root disturbance, so avoid transplanting.

• Care: Very low maintenance. They are largely self-sufficient once established. Deadhead if you wish to prevent self-sowing, or leave the decorative, architectural seed pods to add interest to the garden.

• Blooming: Offers a striking, prolific display primarily in late spring and early summer.
