Papaver commutatum 'Ladybird' (Poppy) Seeds

Papaver commutatum 'Ladybird' (Poppy) Seeds

   
   
No cottage-garden border should be without this variety. Healthy clumps of heavily toothed, hairy green leaves emerge in spring. In summer, the blood-red blooms that appear are incredibly vibrant, each petal bearing a black triangle at the base. The stout flower stems should not require support.

Growing Info:
March-May, sow where it is to grow in a well-prepared seed bed, in full sun. The seedlings do not like root disturbance, so simply thin to 20 cm apart but do not transplant.

Can also be sown Aug-Sep for flowering the following year, although it will need overwintering in a greenhouse, or protection with a cloche through harsh winters.

Cut flowers regularly and deadhead to prolong the flowering period.
