Plant description
Highly sought after by designers and keen plants-people in the know, this annual poppy produces its simple, sugar pink flowers on tall, slender stems from early summer. Use this classy little number to fill gaps in the border - or in naturalised settings where it will often self-seed. Growing instructions: They tend to resent root disturbance, so sow shallowly, directly into a well prepared bed in spring and water well. As the seedlings develop, thin them out to 30cm intervals keeping just the healthiest and most robust plants. When watering, give the plants a really thorough soak when the soil gets dry, rather than a little water every day. At the end of the season allow some seed heads to develop and self sow for the following year. Sow: March to May Flowering: June to August
