Nigella damascena
Love In A Mist is a beautiful old-fashioned annual producing delicate flowers surrounded by finely divided, feathery foliage that gives the plant its distinctive mist-like appearance. Blooms appear in shades of blue, with occasional white and softer tones, creating an airy display through cottage gardens, borders and cutting gardens.
After flowering, plants develop unusual inflated seed pods that are highly decorative and excellent for dried floral arrangements. The flowers themselves also make lovely cut flowers and are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.
Easy to grow and quick to establish, Nigella performs best in cooler conditions and full sun with well-drained soil. Plants readily self-seed when mature pods are left in the garden, often returning naturally the following season.

Nigella damascena
Miss Jekyll Blue is a classic cottage garden annual producing clear sky-blue flowers surrounded by finely cut, feathery foliage and delicate, mist-like bracts. The soft, airy growth brings beautiful texture and movement to garden beds, borders and cutting gardens.
A reliable and long-flowering variety, Miss Jekyll Blue makes an excellent cut flower and is particularly lovely in informal bouquets. After flowering, distinctive inflated seed pods develop, providing additional garden interest and making an excellent addition to dried floral arrangements.
Easy to grow and well suited to cooler conditions, Nigella readily self-seeds when mature pods are left on the plants, often returning naturally year after year.

Phacelia tanacetifolia
Lacy Phacelia is a beautiful, fast-growing flowering plant producing masses of curled clusters of soft lilac to lavender flowers above finely divided, fern-like foliage. Growing up to approximately 1 m tall, it is an excellent addition to productive gardens, wildflower plantings and areas dedicated to beneficial insects.
Considered an outstanding bee forage plant, Phacelia produces abundant nectar and pollen and attracts honeybees, native bees and a wide range of other beneficial and pollinating insects. Its quick growth also makes it useful as a cover crop or green manure, helping to protect bare soil and add organic matter when cut down.
In mild climates, Lacy Phacelia can be grown through winter, while in colder areas it is generally treated as an annual. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil but is adaptable and easy to establish.

Thin seedlings carefully to approximately 20–30 cm apart. Grow in full sun with excellent drainage and avoid disturbing the roots once plants are established.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Papaver nudicaule, Papaver paeoniflorum, Papaver rhoeas
Poppy Mix is a wonderfully varied blend combining several classic Poppy types, including Shirley and Flanders Poppies, Iceland Poppies and large, densely petalled Paeony Poppies. The result is an eclectic mixture of flower forms, heights and colours, with every planting producing a slightly different display.
Expect everything from delicate, tissue-like single blooms to large, extravagant double flowers in shades of red, pink, salmon, orange, yellow, white and mixed tones. The combination creates a relaxed cottage garden effect and is particularly beautiful when sown generously through beds, borders and cutting gardens.
The different Poppy types will not necessarily flower at exactly the same time, helping extend the display. Flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, while many of the varieties also make excellent cut flowers.

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Autumn to winter
Mild climates: Autumn to early spring
Cold climates: Late winter to spring, or autumn where plants can overwinter
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow, as Poppies dislike root disturbance. Scatter the fine seed thinly over prepared soil and press gently onto the surface. Cover only very lightly and keep consistently moist during germination.
Thin seedlings as required to prevent overcrowding. Grow in full sun with free-draining soil and avoid disturbing established plants. Because this is a mixture of several species and forms, plant height, flowering time and growth habit will naturally vary.

Papaver orientale
Oriental Mixed is a spectacular hardy perennial Poppy producing large, papery flowers in a rich mixture of coral, tangerine, orange and crimson. The dramatic blooms are carried on tall stems above deeply divided foliage, creating a striking display through late spring and early summer.
Once established, Oriental Poppies are remarkably tough and long-lived, returning year after year in suitable climates. Their bold flowers make an impressive feature in cottage gardens, perennial borders and mass plantings, while the open blooms provide pollen for bees and other pollinating insects.
Plants prefer full sun and free-draining soil and develop good drought tolerance once established. Oriental Poppies perform particularly well in cooler and temperate climates and may become dormant after flowering, with foliage dying back before returning with cooler conditions.
Approximately 1,800 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Generally not suited to tropical climates
Subtropics: Autumn to winter in cooler areas
Mild climates: Autumn to spring
Cold climates: Spring or autumn
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow or into individual pots to minimise root disturbance. Scatter the fine seed over prepared soil and press gently onto the surface, covering only very lightly.
Keep moist during germination and thin seedlings carefully once established. Choose a permanent position in full sun with excellent drainage, as Oriental Poppies develop a substantial taproot and dislike being disturbed once established.

Papaver paeoniflorum
Paeony Double Mix is a spectacular annual Poppy producing large, fully double blooms with densely packed, ruffled petals resembling old-fashioned paeonies. Flowers appear in a rich mixture of pink, rose, red, white and deep plum, creating a dramatic display through spring and early summer.
The tall stems and extravagant flowers make a striking addition to cottage gardens, borders and mass plantings. Once flowering finishes, attractive ornamental seed pods develop and can be left in the garden or harvested for dried arrangements. Plants readily self-seed in favourable conditions, often returning naturally in following seasons.
Easy to grow, Paeony Poppies prefer full sun, cooler growing conditions and well-drained soil. They establish best when sown directly where they are to flower, as Poppies dislike root disturbance.

Papaver rhoeas
Flanders Poppy, also known as Corn Poppy or Field Poppy, is a classic European wildflower producing brilliant scarlet-red flowers with delicate, papery petals, often marked with a dark centre. The slender stems and vivid blooms create a striking display in cottage gardens, wildflower plantings and borders.
Once a common sight in European agricultural fields, the Flanders Poppy became an enduring symbol of remembrance following the First World War, particularly after flourishing across the disturbed ground of the Western Front.
Easy to grow and quick to establish, plants flower generously through the cooler growing season and are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. Once flowering finishes, decorative seed capsules develop and plants can readily self-seed in favourable conditions.
The mature seeds are edible and have traditionally been used in breads, cakes, biscuits and other baked goods.

Shirley Single Flowered Mix is a classic annual Poppy producing delicate, tissue-like single blooms in a beautiful mixture of colours including pink, rose, salmon, red and white, often with softly blended or contrasting edges. Growing to approximately 70 cm tall, the slender stems create a light, graceful display through late winter and spring.
A long-time cottage garden favourite, Shirley Poppies are excellent for mass planting, wildflower gardens and informal borders. The flowers can also be used for cutting, while blooms left in the garden provide pollen for bees and other pollinating insects.
Plants perform best in a warm, sunny position with average, well-drained soil and a neutral pH. Pinching out early buds can encourage bushier, more strongly branched plants, while removing finished flowers helps prolong the flowering season. Allow some seed pods to mature if you would like plants to self-seed.
