Poppy (Wild) Flower Seeds

The Kew Pollinators range of seeds from Thompson and Morgan has been specially created alongside the experts at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to attract and support a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies and beetles, as well as a number of other important pollinating insects. Helping these pollinators to thrive is hugely important for our eco-system as a whole and these seeds, in their striking packaging inspired by artwork from the Kew archives, will help to create the environment which they need to thrive, with varieties chosen to help a wide range of pollinating insects, including some night flowering plants to help moths which also play an important part in our gardens.

The wild Poppy, Papaver rhoeas is one of our most iconic wildflowers. The papery red blooms create splashes of colour among cornfields and meadow grasses across the UK. This hardy annual is easy to grow in the garden too and brings a romantic charm to planting schemes. Leave the faded flower heads to set seed and you can enjoy drifts of poppies in the following year. Perfect for sprinkling among wispy grasses or threading through gravel gardens and rockeries. Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 30cm (12″).
