Mr Fothergill's Californian Poppy Appleblossom Pink Seeds, Easy to grow, beautiful blooms. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season. Sow some direct into pots and tubs for easy summer colour.

Water well until plants are established. For a continuous display make sowings at two to three weekly intervals. Sowings made in curves rather than straight lines often create a more pleasing effect. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season.
