Description
Shirley English Poppy
Bold, paper-thin petal s in a colorful assortment of white, pink, red and bicolors. Very drought tolerant and easy to grow despite its delicate appearance. A good choice for naturalizing a large area. This seed packet weighs 0.2g.
Planting
Sow outdoors in early spring in a sunny area when the soil is cool, or in fall prior to first fall frost for early spring blossoms. Poppies germinate best in cool weather and well drained soil. For transplants, start indoors six to eight weeks before last spring frost. Poppies do not transplant well, so start seeds in biodegradable pots and plant the entire pot. Water consistently, but do not fertilize.
Note
Poppies bloom profusely in cooler growing conditions, and can rebound in the fall after summer heat. They tolerate poor soil and light drought.
