Description
A really bright and cheerful, some would say simple, flower.
A relative of the common corn field poppy, the red/pink flowers have a distinctive black blotch at the base of each petal which makes them look like the spots on a ladybird.
Recognised to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
- Flower June - August.
- Grow to around 18" (45 cm) tall.
- Thrive in full sun.
- Prefer well drained soils - and 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.
