Poppy Shirley Double Mix Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perPapaver rhoeas
Shirley Double Mix is a beautiful annual Poppy producing delicate double and semi-double flowers in a varied mixture of pink, rose, red, salmon and white, often with softly blended or picotee-edged petals. Growing to approximately 70 cm tall, the slender stems and tissue-like blooms create a wonderfully airy cottage garden display.
Shirley Poppies are descendants of the wild field poppy and are loved for their extraordinary range of soft colours and flower forms. They are ideal for cottage gardens, wildflower plantings and borders, while the open flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects.
Easy to grow and quick to establish, Shirley Poppies prefer cooler growing conditions, full sun and well-drained soil. Plants readily self-seed when mature seed pods are left in place, often returning naturally in following seasons.
Seed count: approximately 7,000 seeds/g
Approximately 1,800 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Autumn to winter
Mild climates: Autumn to early spring
Cold climates: Autumn or early spring
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow, as Poppies dislike root disturbance. Scatter the fine seed thinly over prepared soil, press gently onto the surface and cover only very lightly. Keep moist during germination.
Thin seedlings to approximately 15–20 cm apart. Grow in full sun and well-drained soil. Allow selected seed pods to mature if you would like plants to self-seed for the following season.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
