Perfect for cottage gardens, wildflower plantings and moody, atmospheric borders. Easy to grow and best sown direct, it thrives in poor, well‑drained soil and full sun. Plants self‑seed lightly, returning year after year in a natural, informal way. Excellent for cutting if stems are seared at the base.\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\" title=\"Poppy Growing Guide\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collie Flowers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58424569954568,"sku":null,"price":1.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5105\/6904\/files\/Poppy_Black_Swan.webp?v=1786538110","url":"https:\/\/collieflowers.com\/products\/poppy-black-swan","provider":"Collie Flowers Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
