Field Poppy
Classic red poppy with large bright red flowers. It grows in nutrient-rich, free-draining soils in a sunny situation. Fairly slug resistant. The fine seeds are sown direct and only lightly covered with soil. Stems should be cut for the vase when buds start to burst. The seed stems can be used for dry flower arrangements.
