Papaver rhoeas (Field Poppy)
UK Native Wildflower
Description
No garden is complete without its brilliant red poppies. Scatter the seed straight into the garden and they’ll be quick to flower. If you sear the stem ends in boiling water for 10 seconds, the flowers last a couple of days in the vase.
From the Sarah Raven’s Brilliant for Bees & Butterflies range.
