Poppy 'Colibri Dolce Vita Mix'
These are no ordinary poppies. These are speciality, Italian-bred, cut flower trade poppies. In the most exquisite colours from pale lemon, through blush and peach to apricot and raspberry; a stunning mix of sturdy, large-headed beauties.
Specifically bred for cut flowers, these seeds can be tricky to germinate. Surface sow and do not exclude light. 15-18C is ideal for germination. You can use a propagator lid to stop the compost from drying out, but no heat. They will tolerate a light frost, but frost protection is beneficial. Be extra gentle with the roots when transplanting. They dislike root disturbance.
