How to Grow
Poppy 'Falling in Love' seeds are best sown directly outdoors in early spring or autumn, taking advantage of the March to May or August to October sowing windows. These hardy annuals thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained soil to produce vibrant, long-lasting blooms in garden beds, terraces, or containers.
Sowing
Sow the seeds directly on top of compact, moist soil without covering them, as they need light to germinate effectively. Keep the soil warm and consistently moist during germination for best results in the UK climate.
Growing
Once seedlings appear, thin them to prevent overcrowding, allowing enough space for healthy growth within a 25 cm pot or garden bed. This ensures each plant has room to develop robust stems and semi-double flowers through the June to September growing season.
Plant care
Water the poppies moderately, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming and collect seed heads as they brown and rattle to save seeds for future sowing, supporting ongoing cultivation year after year.
