WILLOW CROSSLEY

California Poppy 'Ivory Castle'

£3.50

California poppies are easy to grow, you can literally scatter the seed on open ground, and they will do their stuff. This one is a stylish ivory white which glows beautifully from pots, beds or borders. I love these creamy flowers with their feathery blue-green foliage sown in drifts. California poppies close their petals as the evening light fades. Deadhead regularly for more flowering.

How to Grow

Sowing and Growing

  1. Sow direct where they will grow and flower. They do not like to be moved.
  2. Sow thinly in shallow drills 30cm apart into well raked soil.
  3. Water regularly.
  4. You can also sow the seed in autumn for early flowering the next year and overwinter in a greenhouse or conservatory.

 

The California poppy loves to be in full sun. Keep cutting them and they will produce more flowers.

 

Arranging

Pick early in the morning straight into water. These are lovely simply arranged in a vintage glass.
