Poppy Shirley Single Flowered Mix Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perPapaver rhoeas
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.
Seed count: approximately 7,000 seeds/g
Approximately 1800 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Autumn to winter
Mild climates: Late summer to autumn
Cold climates: Late summer to 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. Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage a longer flowering period.
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 WITH EDEN
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.
