Poppy flowers only occasionaly
Hi - I have a poppy which I bought 5 years ago - Papaver orientale 'Karina'.
It flowered the first year. SInce then it has not flowered. Last year I decided to cut it back hard at the end of the summer. It has come up this year with three buds.
Question is - how best to look after it. How to encourage it to flower again?
Soil is slightly clay, neutral/acid. Southerly aspect. Not overly crowded.
ANy advice appreciated.
