Papaver orientale 'Brilliant' (H.P.)

This is the classic perennial Orientale Poppy. The jet black centres provide a dramatic contrast to the large, silky, bright scarlet petals. A striking addition to any border! (36ins)

Sowing Instructions

Sow from February to May on the surface of moist seed compost. Do not cover seeds or exclude light. Place in propagator or seal inside a polythene bag until germination. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 3ins pots and grow on. Harden off before planting out 12ins apart after last frosts.
