Swan's Down Poppy

The Swan's Down Poppy is a beautiful addition to any garden. Its large 3 to 4 inch flowers feature frilly white petals that resemble a pompom. Easy to grow and often reseeding itself, this poppy makes a striking contrast to other flowers. Save seeds from the fully browned pods for next season.

Sow seeds in early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Plant at 1/8 inch deep and cover lightly. Keep the soil moist and germinations should take place in 14-21 days. Thin to 8-12 inches. Poppies prefer full sun and require little water once established.

***Planting Instructions***

Poppies need to be planted into soil that has already been watered. 

They grow best in full sun. Once planted they need to be well-watered but not water logged. 

The best time for planting poppies would be from March until May and they'll bloom from July to October.

Most varieties of poppies are drought-resistant and will attract bees and butterflies. 

Deadhead these flowers if you're not wanting further seeds.
