Closely associated with the battlefields of World War One, and more happily the cornfirlds of WesternEurope. This poppy features striking scarlet flowers with distinctive black flecks. Poppy flowers are short lived, but new flowers succeed each other rapidly, providing a tremendous display over a long period. Pinch out old flower stems to encourage new blooms. Cut flowers just as the bud splits for longer vase life.
Great for pots, mass bedding displays and cut flowers.
