These easy-to-grow annuals bring a soft, romantic look to cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and border plantings, and their delicate blooms contrast beautifully with brighter flowers. The cup-shaped flowers sway gracefully on slender stems and are a favorite for cut flower arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePapaver rhoeas, the common field poppy, is a hardy annual that grows quickly from seed and self-sows readily in suitable conditions. Plant these seeds where their airy, informal habit can be appreciated, such as in meadow patches, raised beds, or mixed perennial borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnusual lavender-grey flower color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCup-shaped blooms on slender stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees and other pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for cut flower arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-to-grow annual wildflower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Papaver rhoeas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual wildflower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil lightly moist until established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, airy stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 8 to 12 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoppy seeds are best sown directly where they are to grow, as they resent transplanting. Scatter the seeds thinly over prepared, weed-free soil and press them gently into the surface; do not cover deeply, as light helps germination. Keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge, then thin them to the recommended spacing so plants have room to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Shirley poppies need only moderate watering and thrive in full sun with good drainage. Remove spent blooms if you want to limit self-seeding, or allow some flowers to mature if you would like plants to return the following season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Shirley Amazing Grey Poppy seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795603128630,"sku":"FOLIA2-648","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7305771804_10i9.jpg?v=1792671890","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-shirley-amazing-grey-poppy-seeds-lavender-wildflower-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
