To this end I am trying early autumn sowing with, amongst others, poppies. So far success with Papaver rhoeas 'Amazing Grey', Papaver somniferum 'Hungarian Blue' and Eschscholzia californica. I posted about Papaver rhoeas 'Amazing Grey' almost a year ago to the day. Not one of those seeds germinated in a spring sowing. Thank goodness I tried autumn sowing this year.
Hi David,
a friend ordered some 'Amazing Grey' seeds from the UK so I now have some to sow this autumn!
In the meanwhile here are some more of the new season's poppies
Papaver rhoeas pure white
Papaver rhoeas orange, pale centre
Papaver rhoeas grey
Papaver rhoeas grey with red centre
Papaver rhoeas stripey grey-red
glossy red Flanders Poppy
cheers
fermi
