Poppy, white & red
A red, white and pink mixed, large flowered poppy which blooms throughout the summer. Seeds should be sown where they are to flower and be only lightly covered with soil. Fairly slug resistant. When cut the upright buds can be observed unfolding in the vase, the decorative seed capsules can be used in dried flower arrangements.
