Description





Our high-quality corn poppy seeds come with high germination rate and vigorous natural growth performance. Scientifically named Papaver rhoeas, corn poppy also known as field poppy is a classic native annual wildflower famous for thin crinkled scarlet petals and elegant swaying posture.
It belongs to cool-season flowers, tolerates slight frost and blooms heavily in spring and early summer. Widely applied in wildflower meadow mixing sowing, roadside ecological restoration, cottage garden natural border and large area landscape beautification. The cup-shaped bright blossoms attract bees and other pollinators, greatly enriching garden biodiversity.
Corn poppy has very low soil requirement, grows well on loose well-drained barren soil. Overly fertile soil will cause excessive leaf growth and lodging. It needs almost no fertilization and only supplementary watering in extreme drought, extremely friendly for novice growers and large-scale ecological greening projects.
