Where to sow: Outdoors where they are to flower.
Preparation: Prepare the ground by raking until it is fine and crumbly, removing any large stones.
Sowing: Sow thinly onto the surface of the soil and lightly rake in.
Growing: When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to 15-30cm (6-12in) apart. Removing spent flower heads will encourage further blooming.
CAUTION: All poppies are poisonous. However, the SEEDS produced by this specific variety can be eaten and make a great topping for bread, and are an essential ingredient for lemon and poppy seed muffins. Write to us for a free leaflet with recipes for a wide range of edible flowers.
