Poppy Oriental Royal Wedding
The Oriental Poppy is perfect for cottage gardens, and are best planted together in clumps for the full effect. Poppy ‘Royal Wedding’ is the pick of the bunch, with glistening white petals and a dark centre to each bloom. Bees and butterflies love the nectar-rich flowers. Oriental Poppies are easy to grow, hardy perennial plants for a sunny border in the garden. Plants are clump-forming, tough and produce over-sized flowers in early summer each year, followed by attractive seedheads.
Sowing
Sow directly into weed free, warm, moist soil. Sow 5mm deep in drills 15cm apart and rake gently. After emergence, thin seedlings to 20-30cm spacing. Alternatively, sow seeds onto the surface of good quality compost in a seed tray in a greenhouse or coldframe/windowsill at around 15-20C, do not exclude light. Germination 10-21 days. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions and then plant out 30cm (12in) apart.
