Poppy ‘Pandora’
A great poppy for design work, the colour brings such delicious richness in the perfect crushed berry shades - its streaked petals with flashes of grey give it an almost smoky quality, and sometimes a brighter cherry red- it's a real head turner.
These poppies do not like being disturbed, so it's best to direct sow in spring. Benefits from light to germinate, so surface sow, or very lightly cover with compost. You can start under cover in autumn; just be extra gentle when transplanting. They benefit from the cold stratification of winter, so pre-chill seeds if starting them under cover. Let them grow on in cooler temperatures.
Plant Type: Hardy Annual
Aspect: Full Sun
Spacing: 9 inches apart
Days to Maturity: 60-75 approx
Height: 2ft
