PAPAVER SEEDS

The Papaver genus, commonly known as Poppy, is a captivating and iconic member of the Papaveraceae family. These herbaceous annuals, biennials, and perennials are celebrated for their delicate, crinkled petals in vibrant shades of red, orange, pink, white, and yellow, often with striking black or dark centres. Papaver blooms from late spring to early summer, adding a bold splash of colour to borders, wildflower meadows, and cottage gardens.

Native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America, Papaver thrives in well-drained soils and sunny locations. These drought-tolerant plants are ideal for low-maintenance gardening. Popular species include Papaver rhoeas, or Common Poppy, celebrated for its historical significance, and Papaver orientale, or Oriental Poppy, admired for its large, showy blooms and long-lasting presence in the garden.

The Papaver genus combines beauty, resilience, and ecological value, making it a timeless choice for gardeners seeking vibrant, pollinator-friendly plants that bring a touch of the wild to their landscapes.
