Description
The large single flowers of this variety do indeed look like a glass of that drink with a similar name At the base a dark centre brings a delightful contrast - and a useful guide to the nectar for bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects! After the flowers, the stems are topped with large seed pods that will stand well into the autumn.
A relation of the Opium Poppy, this is a lovely variety and deserves space in every herbaceous border; the more you plant the better the display will be!
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 ft (60-90 cm) tall.
- Plant 14" apart.
- Thrives in full sun.
- Prefer 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!
