Long-head poppy is a delicate annual or short-lived perennial that produces soft scarlet flowers with dark centres, ideal for wildflower meadows and cottage garden borders. It thrives in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, relatively poor soils and needs little care beyond initial sowing. It self-seeds prolifically, returning year after year with minimal effort on your part.
