Poppy - Orientale Brilliant
This is the classic Orientale poppy, with large, bright scarlet-red flowers with a jet black centre, which comes true to type from seed. This is a striking plant for the border.
Germinate from February to May at 15C on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Do not cover seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 10-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination. Transplant seedlings, when large enough to handle, into 7.5cm pots. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and then plant out 3cm apart.
