Key benefits

  • Semi-double and double blooms in rose, pink, peach and scarlet
  • Silky, crumpled petals, many edged in a second colour
  • Brings a meadow feel to borders and gravel gardens
  • Bees work the open flowers for pollen
  • Packet of about 150 seeds with growing instructions

'Falling in Love' turns the wild field poppy into a romantic mix of semi-double and double blooms in every shade of rose, pink, peach, coral and scarlet. Many flowers are picotee, edged or flushed with a second colour, and their silky, crumpled petals open from nodding buds on tall, wiry stems. This Shirley-type selection of Papaver rhoeas brings a meadow feel to a sunny border, a gravel garden or a wildflower patch, and bees work the open flowers for pollen. Cut stems in bud and sear the ends in boiling water for short-lived but beautiful vase flowers.

Sowing and growing

  • Germination takes 10 to 21 days
  • Full sun, in well-drained, even poor soil
  • Thin seedlings to about 20 cm apart; poppies dislike transplanting
  • Grows to around 60 to 80 cm tall

  • A hardy annual that often self-seeds

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I sow poppy seeds?

Sow outdoors from March to May for flowers in early to midsummer, or in September for stronger plants that flower earlier the next year. Poppies resent root disturbance, so sow them where they will flower rather than in trays.

Should I cover poppy seeds with soil?

No. Poppy seed needs light to germinate. Mix the tiny seed with dry sand, scatter it over raked soil, press it in firmly and keep the surface moist until the seedlings appear.

Do Falling in Love poppies come back every year?

Each plant is an annual and dies after flowering, but poppies self-seed readily. Leave some seed heads to ripen and shake them where you want next year's flowers.
