Greetings all,
I have just planted a wild Poppy that I picked up at the
road side, Anyone have any care tips? It is a bit droopy this morning but I
think it will pull through.
Alternately, the good news is they're a doddle to grow from seed, so go
back to the roadside in a few weeks when the flowering is all over and
the plants look pretty much dead, snip of a few seedheads and sow them
next spring right where you want to grow them. Or get a packet of seeds
from the market, they're dead cheap.
Sow them? Shaking seed pods from ours last year onto more borders where
we fancied some poppies sufficed here. Try to pick ones that still
rattle and where the tops aren't *quite* open.
