Suttons Field Poppy Papaver Rhoeas

Attractive to bees and other pollinators. Easy to grow – sow direct outside. Sow in borders and pots. Flowers June-August. Height 30-60cm (1-2′). HA/HP – Hardy annual/Hardy perennial.

Sow the seed thinly 3mm deep direct into finely raked, moist, warm, weed-free soil where the plants are to flower. Germination usually takes 10-14 days. As the seedlings develop, thin them gradually to achieve a final spacing of 15cm, removing any competing weeds. Remove dead flower heads as they appear. Poppies will grow readily in most garden soils in a sunny position.
