Poppy - Exquisite flowers for the spring garden and a superb source of cut flowers. One of the chief favourites among garden flowers, with long stems and bright saucer-like flowers. To make them last a really long time cut while in bud and seal stems off with boiling water or flame.

Growing Instructions. Transplant 30-45cm (12-18 inches) apart into flowering site in the autumn for flowering the following year.
Aftercare Instructions. They prefer full sun and well drained soil but will grow well in most soils.
