Poppies
« on: August 05, 2010, 02:33 »
I have recently harvested a lot of pink poppy seeds and would like to know when i should sow them and how long it would be before they flower?
Love me, love my veggies

You can sow them straight away and the plants will be in flower late spring/early summer  :)

Or you can keep them and sow in the spring, in which case they will flower a little later  :) :)

We've decided to grow more poppies next year.  I have a mass of the yellow ones and if you keep up with them they can look very nice but are a nuisance if you let them get out of hand.  I also have some Himalyan poppies which are hugh and fabulous.

I've got some of the British Legion red poppies so I will be hoping I have just as much success with them.  If anyone has any more pointers for successful cultivation I'd appreciate them.

Pink Poppies - sound lovely, hoping to grow some poppies but need to find a not so windy spot in the garden, otherwise I will have lovely petal less poppies!  Are pink poppy seeds easy to find? The veg patch has had most of my attention this year, hoping to create a lovely flower garden next year.

Most seed companies have some pink varieties -- not sure which ones you have in France, though  :)
