Californian Poppy Seeds 'Thai Silk Pink Champagne'

• Exquisite, paper-like blooms
• Easy to grow and long-flowering
• Subtle colour throughout summer, perfect in sunny borders where it thrives with minimal attention

Sowing Outdoors

Rake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds thinly in pre-watered soil, lightly covering them with a little more soil. Keep moist until seedlings appear and as required in dry spells. Late summer and autumn sown seedlings may benefit from cloche or fleece protection when hard frosts threaten.

Aftercare

When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to allow their development and to prevent overcrowding.

Advice

Summer/autumn sowings will start to bloom earlier the following year than seeds sown in spring. Always sow Californian Poppies direct as they don’t transplant well.
