Plants develop large, nodding buds that stay curled downward for several days before lifting upright as the blooms open. These are followed by bold, ornamental seed heads that extend the season and are every bit as attractive as the flowers. Poppies self‑seed easily, returning year after year with effortless charm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrow in full sun and well‑drained soil. Direct sow only — poppies resent root disturbance and do not transplant well. Lightly rake over the seed to cover and allow germination to take place over 14–21 days. Ideal for borders, cottage gardens and naturalised planting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eSow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring \u0026amp; Autumn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eGermination\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14–21 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eFlowering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e to 90cm | \u003cstrong\u003eSpread:\u003c\/strong\u003e to 25cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eLifecycle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy annual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003ePosition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eSowing method\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow; lightly rake to cover; do not transplant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGet the full Poppy Growing Guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/collieflowers.com\/pages\/poppy\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Poppy Growing Guide\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collie Flowers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58424566939912,"sku":null,"price":1.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5105\/6904\/files\/mixed_poppies.jpg?v=1766155388","url":"https:\/\/collieflowers.com\/products\/papaver-somniferum-mixed","provider":"Collie Flowers Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
