Red - Poppies

Ref : E0148 - Papaver rhoeas
Bag of 300 seeds

Very abundant in freshly tilled ground in spring, the field poppy is distinguished by the bright red color of its flowers. This messicolous plant, associated with agriculture since ancient times, has a life cycle adapted to cereal crops, and its fruiting occurs before harvest. However, with the widespread use of herbicides and, more generally, the industrialization of agriculture, its presence in the wild is diminishing dramatically.

Field Poppy has sedative properties for irritating coughs. It is used as an infusion, with one teaspoon of petals in a cup of water.

Sow in trays under light shelter. Transplant into pots when plants reach 3 or 4 cm. Plant out after the last frosts, 30 cm apart in all directions. You can also sow directly in situ, covering the seeds very lightly. Keep the soil moist. Then thin out to 30 cm in all directions. Staggered sowing will prolong flowering. Autumn sowing can be used for early spring flowering.

It reseeds very easily!
