Mr Fothergills Poppy Ladybird 1000 Seeds

Poppy - Ladybird

This variety features dramatic, eye-catching flowers which have large black spots on a brilliant red background. The bowl-shaped flowers contrast well with the fresh green foliage. This hardy annual is very easy to grow and reaches the height of 45cm.

Sow outdoors from March to May or August to October, where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin them to 20cm apart and water well until plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three-week intervals. Sowings made in curves, rather than straight lines, often create a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings. Flowers from June to September.
