PAPAVER rhoeas - Corn Poppy Red 10g
Family: Papaveraceae
Characteristics: Annual 60 cm
Seed per packet: Approx. 800
Seed per gram: Approx 7,000
Corn poppies are a beloved addition to flower mixes due to their stunning appearance when planted in masse. These plants should be sown directly in the garden as they do not react well to being transplanted.
Corn poppies are valuable to wildflower and pollinator seed mixtures and cottage gardens. Honeybees and other beneficial insects are attracted to the flowers for their pollen.
Poppies look more dramatic when planted in mass, and they are a must-have for every spring garden; they self-sow freely.
Adaptable to most well-drained garden soils in an open sunny position. Tolerant to poor sandy soils, drought, and frost resistance.
Papaver rhoeas poppies are native to Europe and can be found in cultivated fields, meadows, and roadsides.
