Poppies
Papaver nudicaule also known as Iceland poppies are some of the best bedding plants you can get for adding colour, flower power and plenty of bees and butterflies into a garden bed. They are also excellent cut flowers.
Planting
Poppies do better do well with hot days and cooler nights. Choose a position in full sun or a little shade and prepare the soil with loads of compost and organic materials, a few handfuls of organic slow-release fertilizer and a few handfuls of bonemeal or superphosphate when planting. The soil must be well-draining and keep it well-watered throughout the season, particularly in warm and hot weather.
