The Garden’s Best Kept Secret: The Magic of Poppies
If you followed my last post on flower seeds, you know we’re getting ready for a spectacular spring! But today, I have to talk about the ‘showstopper’ of the season: Poppies.
There is something truly magical about watching a poppy bloom. One minute it’s a fuzzy, nodding green bud, and the next, it ‘pops’ open to reveal petals that look like delicate, vibrant crepe paper. They are the ultimate ‘event’ flower—stunning, fleeting, and utterly irresistible to the bees and butterflies in our neighborhood.
Whether you’re looking for the bold, classic orange of a giant Orange Oriental Poppy, the stunning and majestic Black Swan Poppies, or the incredible and extraordinarily majestic Breadseed White Frills Poppy, we have the perfect seeds waiting for you.
Pro-Tip for Ladybugs and Dahlias fans: Poppies love a little ‘tough love.’ Scatter them now on well-draining soil (they even like a little frost!) and let nature do the rest.
