Papaver Orientale, Poppy Red 'Beauty of Livermere' Giant 100 Seeds

Product Information

If you want to reproduce the same flower colours, the easiest way is to lift the plants in autumn, divide them and replant the pieces. In late spring, tall stems yield fat buds wreathed in hairy cases, from which spill their gloriously crumpled, papery petals. Poppy seed is fairly small so the best option is to use small peat or paper pots with a good light germination mix and scatter several seeds on the top of the moistened mixture then place in a light location or under grow lights.

It’s not the first cypher that has been painted in the village by Danny, who created one following the Queen’s death in 2022, and the King’s coronation in 2023.Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

Richard has been a keen supporter of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal and poppy collector ever since the death of his father in 2016.

Bare-root plants should be planted November-March, potted plants can be planted all year round, but are best planted in spring or autumn. While blooms can be used as a cut flower they don't last very long perhaps a day at most so its better to leave them in the garden and enjoy them. If plants are too close together use small scissors and cut those plants selected for removal to the ground. Foliage dies down after flowering and plants go dormant during hot summers to reappear in fall when temperatures reduce, foliage remains all winter.
