POPPY
Fire Circle
NZ Heritage (Papaver spp)
Description: Annual 1m, cottage garden. We were sent
this poppy years ago by a member, we all but lost it.
We planted the last of the seeds and only one grew and
flowered by the fire circle. They're all exactly the same,
layers and layers of pink with dark pink centres and very
frilly. Simply stunning!
Sowing: Plant into trays early Spring and early Autumn
prick out at 2.5 cm diagonal spacing when first two leaves
appear. Transplant very carefully (roots do not like being
disturbed) when 3 cm high at 30 cm diagonals spacing. Will
self seed readily. They can also be direct sown.
Organically grown in NZ, especially for home
gardens, taste, nutrition and disease resistance.
From our Past, for our Future.
Approx 200 seeds per packet
Batch number: FPfG0465
