These easy-to-grow annuals add a romantic, cottage-garden feel to borders, meadows, and wildflower plantings. The ruffled, peony-like flowers appear in late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators and providing a beautiful display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShirley poppies are versatile and can be sown directly in the garden where they are to bloom. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil, and they tolerate poor soil conditions. Their self-sowing nature means they often return year after year, making them a lovely addition to naturalized areas and cut flower gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble, ruffled blooms in a mix of pastel and vibrant colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to grow from seed, ideal for wildflower gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees and other pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-sows readily for recurring displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for cut flowers and meadow plantings\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, average to poor soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; drought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-30 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-12 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Shirley poppy seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall. Prepare a weed-free seedbed and scatter seeds thinly over the surface, pressing them gently into the soil; do not cover deeply as light aids germination. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge, then thin to stand 8-12 inches apart. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers, or allow some to go to seed for self-sowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Shirley Double Poppy seeds in a mix of colors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776118325558,"sku":"FOLIA-184","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7356620675_eeck.jpg?v=1792467894","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-shirley-double-poppy-seeds-mixed-colors-easy-grow-wildflower","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
