Description

A poppy with a difference! Stunning, rich burgundy-red flowers, each with an attractive serrated, frilly edge, above erect, silver-green foliage. Borders look spectacular when sown en-masse, creating drifts of this most vibrant colour. Height: 60-90cm (24-36 inches).

Sowing Instructions

Sow early spring to early summer thinly just below the surface in well cultivated soil which has been raked to a fine tilth.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to 15-30cm (6-12in) apart.

Aftercare

Removing spent flower heads will encourage further blooming. Plants will often self seed and come up the following year.

Caution

All poppies are poisonous. However, the SEEDS produced by these specific varieties ONLY can be eaten. Typically, used in bakery recipes.
