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.

Water regularly in summer

This plant needs nothing more than rain water throughout most of the year. During hot, prolonged dry periods in summer however, you may have to give the plant a good watering several times a week. If the plant starts to look distressed and the soil around it is very dry, then give the plant some more water and check up on it the next day.

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, dig in some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.

Feeding not required

This is a low maintenance plant which gets all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
