Poppy’s Campaign

Imagine a world with no flowers?

We all need to play a part in preserving our planet—sustainability, protecting bio-diversity, reducing carbon emissions, and energy efficiency go far beyond simply changing to low-energy light bulbs.

 Here’s how to grow yours:

Sowing instructions: Sow thinly outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing and sow 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in rows 30cm(12in) apart.

Growing instructions:  They prefer a sunny site in ordinary well-drained soil but will flourish in most sites and soils. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings to 15-23cm (6-9in) apart.

Alternatively, sow seeds in the autumn for flowers in early summer, and staggered sowings through the spring will extend the flowering season. Caution: Harmful if eaten.
