Poppy Papaver Rhoeas Double Shirley Mix seed pink poppy flowers white poppy flowers red poppy flowers

Poppy - Papaver Rhoeas - Double Shirley will produce a gorgeous blend of pastel-colored

blooms that come in shades of pink, red, and white and have a yellow center. The flowers are double petaled and have a paper like appearance, and have attractive foliage and thin, furry stems. These plants are grown as an annual flowering plant, and they will grow quickly from freshly harvested seeds. They will bloom profusely for a few short weeks and will then wilt in late Autumn. What’s interesting about this plant is that even though it is considered an annual flowering plant, their seeds will fall to the bare ground and will allow new plants to emerge the following season. A little gardening tip: like most Poppies, these plants are most attractive when sown by the masses. They grow best in full sun, thrive in temperatures around 70F, and will grow between 12 – 30 inches tall. The soil should be well-draining, and can be average to rich, although it prefers sandy soils. These flowers will attract numerous pollinators to your garden such as Hummingbirds, Butterflies, Bees, and Ladybugs all while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These do great in flower beds, raised beds, and also in borders in the garden.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!

SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!

ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.

DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.

Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
