Poppy somniferum ‘Lilac Lady’

£3.10
out of stock

This beautiful poppy, papaver somniferum, is a perfect papery, lilac. Huge petals like crumpled silk that give way to large, pale seed heads that stand strong and add texture to the garden. Great for drying.

Poppies do not like being disturbed, so it's best to direct sow, on the surface of the soil, where you would like them to flower. Sow from May onwards through to October. Seeds sown in the autumn will flower the next year.

To dry, wait until the seed pods have developed, cut and bunch the stems, removing the leaves, and hang upside down in a dry environment, out of direct sunlight.

Hardy Annual

Aspect: Full Sun
