Papaver sominferum, true red | ||||||||||||
Opium poppy, true red | ||||||||||||

||||||||||||
The picture really doesn't do justice to the colour of this opium poppy, which is a true, rich red with a black centre. The seeds were gathered from a plant that appeared well after the other types in the garden had been and gone, so hopefully cross-pollination will have been at a minimum. | ||||||||||||
Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
Direct sow in autumn or spring, in a sunny position, thinning to about 9-15in apart. |
