It has a very striking appearance. You can also use them as a lovely cut flower in a flower arrangement. Clip the flower when it is in the budding stage. The red and white poppy 'Danish Flag' (Papaver somniferum) looks brilliant in a flower garden. The decorative flower is easy to sown with its fine seeds. This makes it very suitable for allowing to spread naturally. Plant the flower seeds outdoors in late March to late May by scattering them broadly or planting them in rows. The flowers bloom from June to September. The plant grows to about 90 cm tall.
Space the poppy seeds 25 cm apart. Space the rows at a distance of 15 cm. Plant at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. Poppies bloom best in full sun. After sowing, water the seeds adequately. The flower seeds come in a bag containing approximately 0.75 grams. This is enough to sow 1 square metre.
