How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Can be affected by aphids - if you see these, pick them off by hand then spray the affected area with soapy water. To prevent downy mildew, space the plants adequately to prevent overcrowding and tight, humid conditions. Water at the base into the soil, not on the leaves, and try to prevent the water splashing off the soil and onto the leaves.

Full sun to partial shade

Poppies do best with around 6-8 hours of sun per day but will appreciate a little afternoon shade

Any average well-drained soil

Plant in any well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, add some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.

Prune in autumn

Cut back fade flower stems - or leave them if you prefer, as the seed heads are attractive.
