Super productive variety
Easy to grow
These are THE ruffled silk poppies, a beautiful mix of oranges, pinks, reds and cream above elegant blue-silver, highly cut leaves
They will self-seed at the front of the border and through impoverished gravel where we have them at Perch Hill. A showy, glamorous new introduction.

- Cultivation
- Best sown direct as they dislike having their roots disturbed. Sow in spring, or in autumn for earlier flowers the following year. Poor, free-draining soil in full sun is best. Sow seed thinly and thin to 30cm.
Care Tips
Great for growing in container pots or borders with poor soil where it will thrive on neglect and freely self-seed. Deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms.
Flowering Time
June - September
