Breadseed poppy "Bowling ball" (Papaver somniferum) 0,5g

Breadseed poppy "Bowling ball". The main value of this variety is the large seed heads after flowering time. The seed head can reach up to 6cm in diameter. Sow in the field directly in the ground in spring, in a permanent place. This can also be done in autumn, then the stems grow longer and stronger. Cover the seeds with a very, very thin layer of soil and lightly press the soil down. Blooms are pink with a white center. Due to the heavy seed heads, we recommend support the stems so that they do not fall over in the wind.

Popular in bouquets of dry flowers.
