Description
The Corn Field Poppy or 'Flanders Poppy' with brilliant scarlet tissue paper flowers, is the traditional emblem of remembrance.
It has a profusion of flowers from June through to September and is a good choice for a bright splash of colour with little maintenance. It makes a beautiful cut flower and an excellent self-seeding garden plant.
| When to Sow | March to May and August to October. |
| Where to Sow | Sow direct outdoors in flowering position in a well prepared, weed free bed. |
| Water the area prior to sowing. | |
| How to Sow | Mix the seed with some dry sand prior to sowing ( this will make it easier to spread and to see where it has been sown). |
| Sow by hand, distributing the seed/sand mixture evenly over the area. | |
| If you want a more orderly display, sow seeds in rows of straight lines or, curves for a more natural effect. | |
| What to do Next | Water well until established. |
| Once the poppies have finished flowering, leave a few plants to die down and self seed. Others can be pulled up and composted. | |
| Flowering period | June to September. |
