Flowering

Unwins Poppy Somniferum Purple Peony Seeds produce sumptuous, double, rich purple flowers. This hardy annual has deeply lobed grey green leaves as contrast.

  • Easy to grow
  • Ideal in sunny borders

Sowing Outdoors
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 and as required in dry spells.

Thinning
When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to allow their development and to prevent overcrowding.

Advice
Late summer and 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. Seed heads are attractive when dried.

How to grow

Sow seeds on to the surface of pre-watered seed compost, but don't cover them. Keep warm, around 20°C and keep moist, but not wet. Allow 1-2 weeks for germination.
