Unwins - Poppy Summer Sorbets

The Summer Sorbet poppy seed mix grows attractive seed pods that give incredible double flower blooms. This poppy flower mixture can be grown from seed at home & will give a fine colour range, great for adding height to borders.

Late summer & autumn sown seedlings may benefit from cloche or fleece protection when hard frosts threaten. Such plants generally bloom earlier the following summer than spring sown plants. Poppyseed harvested from the plants can be used to sprinkle over home-baked loaves of bread.

Key Information:

• Hardy annual
• Plant height: 90cm
• The mixture has a fine colour range
• Great for adding height to borders
• Seed heads can be dried for arrangements

Advice & Tips:

• Rake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds thinly in pre watered soil, lightly covering them with a little more soil. Sowings made in semi-circular lines create a natural 'drift' effect. Keep moist until seedlings appear & as required in dry spells.
• When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to allow their development & to prevent overcrowding.
