Poppy ‘Giganthemum ‘ Giant Pods
Papaver somniferum. The very largest poppy flowers appear in early summer, followed by the very largest seed heads which are stunning in arrangements. The huge seed head is chock full of edible poppy seeds for baking. This is an easy plant to grow, but you'll want to give it some room in full sun, in soil that is well drained and not too fertile. Direct sow the tiny seeds on the surface of the soil and keep the area moist until germination. They need light to germinate. The massive flower stems grow 90-120cm (36-48") tall, topped by flowers around 10cm (4") across. Bees love these!

Verbascum Chaixii ‘Sixteen Candles’
Looking for a pollinator magnet??? Look no further. Check this video out!
These upstanding candelabras of copious violet-eyed sunshine-hued flowers stage a truly incandescent spectacle. ‘Sixteen Candle's' proud yellow spires command attention. One of the few truly perennial species of mullein, it has sulphur-yellow blossoms with purple and red filaments, which bloom profusely on long flower stalks in mid and late summer, above its rosettes of hairy, jagged-edged leaves which are semi-evergreen. The graceful spikes make a lovely vertical accent in the garden and bloom over a very long flowering period extending from late spring to late summer with possible fall re bloom. Makes a majestic statement in the garden!
These plants are well-adapted to cottage gardens, gravel, and rock gardens, or even naturalized areas. This is one of the better-behaved Mulleins that may gently self-seed but rarely becomes a nuisance!Great for cut flower bouquets.
Loves a dry very well drained sandy or rocky soil in the sun.

Papaver somniferum var. paeoniflorum
Simply stunning - gorgeous pink full glorious blooms - same colour as our favourite bubblegum! Luscious peony type blooms. (See under Blog section for poppy info)
Peony poppy is also sometimes called double garden poppy because it produces large, double blooms that typically span 4 to 5 inches across. The plant reaches an average of height of 2 to 3 feet. The flowers have the characteristic papery, ruffled appearance and texture of other poppies. The attractive foliage has rounded leaves accented with feathery edging. The large seed pods that appear after flowering work well in dried floral arrangements and you can use them for crafts.
Peony poppy prefers organically rich, well-draining soil in full sun. Annual. Will self seed.
