Poppy - Six Pack Seedling Tray

If it’s the ‘wow’ factor you’re after, then Iceland poppies are just the thing. The most popular poppy for good reason, if planted from April in autumn temperatures, they’ll transform your garden into a winter wonderland.

Although Iceland poppies can be grown from seed, better results are generally achieved from seedlings. While some gardeners are loath to buy seedlings when there are no visible blooms on the plants, this shouldn’t be a concern. Poppies offer their best display when planted early in the season, soon providing blooms that will keep appearing right through to late spring.

Striking new hybrids are available in mixed shades, as well as in single colours for those with specific colour schemes. For lovers of subtle hues there are pastel mixes. These look lovely when planted with spring bulbs, as well as interplanted with low-growing annuals like pansies.
