The Story
Elegant, almost opalescent poppies in pastel shades with large flowers and long stems. Sow in drifts to create an eye-catching border or harvest as a cut flower when half-open. Seedpods can be dried. Easy to grow, best sown directly into the garden.
A reselected mix of the finest Shirley poppies. Originally selected by the late Sir Cedric Morris, a renowned artist and fellow gardener.
Stratify: Chilling seeds in the fridge for 2-3 weeks prior to sowing will promote germination by breaking seed dormancy.
Surface Sow: Requires light to germinate. Sow seed on the surface. Press seed down into the soil. Keep moist.
