STRIKING RED FIELD POPPY: Easy to grow and stunningly beautiful when in bloom. An annual plant with hairy stems and feathery leaves, produces vivid scarlet flowers. Can grow to 90cm tall in ideal conditions, perfect for borders, fields and meadows.

ATTRACT BIRDS AND BEES TO YOUR GARDEN: Sowing Native Wild Flowers is a great way to attract beneficial insects and pollinators to your garden, allotment or field while also provide a food source for birds and other wildlife. 

HOW TO PLANT: Sow directly where they are to flower. Prepare the seedbed by removing perennial weeds and raking soil to a medium tilth. Scatter the seeds evenly and thinly. Do not cover the seed instead just firm in by rolling or treading to give good soil/seed contact. Sow March to June for best results.

TOP GROWING TIPS: Poppies can grow in most soil types, although for best results grow in well drained areas in full sun. Seeds may need some protection from wild birds until they germinate. Keep them well watered initially and remove any weeds if they appear. After flowering, avoid deadheading annual poppies to allow them to set seed.

GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS: Planting wild flowers is a wonderful way to spend time in your garden, cultivate mindfulness and appreciate the little things just like in years gone by. Working with the earth and growing things is immensely satisfying – teach your children or grandchildren this priceless skill of harvesting food in their own gardens, allotments, greenhouses, inside the home in pots or even in community gardens!
