Thanks to a customer who grows this beautiful color in her garden (thank you Wilma!), we now also have this eye-catcher available: large plants, gray-green foliage, and open, single, dark violet flowers.

Poppies are a gem in the garden. They are also fantastic as cut flowers; cut them in bud when the color is just visible. You will see them fully unfold…

Latin: Papaver somniferum
Dutch: Reuzen Papaver
Also known as: Slaapbol

Sowing method: April-June outdoors in finely raked soil. Lightly rake in and press down so that the seeds are not covered. At temperatures above 20°C, germination decreases. During warm weather, mix the seeds with moist potting soil and place in the refrigerator for 1 week. Sow with the soil, germination will follow quickly!
