How to choose the best poppies

Order your poppy seeds from Thompson & Morgan and grow a diverse collection of colourful and elegant blooms. Spring sowing (between March and May) results in summer blooms, but you might have to wait until the following year for a really healthy display. Autumn sowing (from September to October) gives you flowers the following spring, and you’re likely to get more flowers in your first season. Read our expert tips on how to grow poppies for helpful advice and, if you’re rewilding a patch of garden, see the top ten wildflowers that our horticultural team recommend.

Which poppies are best for wildlife?

The best poppies to grow for wildlife are the open varieties, rather than doubles, as they’re easier for pollinators to feed from. Poppy ‘Falling in Love’ and ‘Royal Wedding’ are both suitable for pollinators, as is the iconic wild poppy.

Which poppies grow in shade?

Most poppies like full sun, but Meconopsis baileyi varieties prefer a spot in part or dappled shade.

Which poppies are perennials?

Perennial poppies include ‘Fruit Punch’, ‘Royal Wedding’ and Meconopsis baileyi varieties.
