White splendour. The poppy (Papaver somniferum) looks brilliant in a flower garden. During baking, the blue poppy seed from the flower can be sprinkled on top of bread. 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 1 gram. This is enough to sow 2 square metres.
