Our Feedback
I just wanted to say how delighted I am with the service I received with my recent order! It is very heartening to know in this time of postal strikes and often lacklustre customer service in so many of our industries that there are still those whom perform to a very high standard. I am 100% satisfied.
24 hours or less from finding your website to delivery!
Thank you to all concerned!

Poppy 'Black Beauty'
Papaver somniferum (Paeoniiflorum Group) 'Black Beauty'
- This almost black, fully double Poppy is absolutely stunning.
- Grow en masse or as a small clump planting to make a truly dazzling display.
- Hardy annual.
Supplied as compost block-grown plants.
Available from APPROXIMATELY May 20215 or more £1.45GBP each. Group & quantity discounts
Stunningly beautiful. Near black fully double flowers rise on tall stems. And after the flower the seed heads form which look similarly wonderful.
As a cut flower they will last at best 24 hours - so unless it's a really special occasion this is a flower to enjoy in the garden! The seed pods will, of course, last indefinitely so can be used in dried flower arrangements.
Plant en masse for a truly stunning display.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
- Flowers June - August.
- Grows to around 2-3 feet (60 - 90 cm) tall.
- Plant 14" apart.
- Thrives in full sun.
- Prefers well drained soils - is particularly good on poorer soils.
- Hardy annual though can prove tender in very wet winters.
- Provided they are grown away from other poppies they will set seed quite true to type.
Please Note
Cultivation of Papaver somniferum is legal in the UK - the harvesting and processing of it for the production of drugs, legal or otherwise, is not!
