Poppy ‘Giganthemum ‘

(2 customer reviews)

$4.95

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!

    These are beautiful poppies so easy to grow. April I sowed seeds and they came up perfect.
    Everyone asked me specifically about this variety, very unique.

Lupin Mix
Lupin Mix
A member of the pea family, Lupins are a wonderful old-fashioned flower, with spires of blue, yellow, pink, purple, white, peach and bicolours.. Although they are perennials, lupins are in the class of short-lived perennials. They put all their energy into those magnificent flower stalks and wear themselves out in the effort. Lupins live in the range of two to five years, but luckily they will self seed and the butterflies and bumblebees will love you.
