A spectacular and breezy blend of Iceland Poppies. This free flowering range will eject colour into your summer borders, with its cool citrus colour range. Makes a long lasting cut flower when cut in bud and the stems sealed in hot water.
Sowing Instructions. Sow January to February or August to September. Germinate at 18-20C (64-68F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination which takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
Growing Instructions. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Grow on in cooler conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 15cm (6in) apart. Alternatively, sow in a cool greenhouse or conservatory in late summer/early autumn. Grow on cool in full light and water sparingly before planting out the following spring.
Aftercare Instructions. Prefers a light, well drained soil in full sun.
