Red Poppies

Poppies are a great flower and the greatest colour must be red.

I was surprised to see these red poppies still flowering into Octobers. Simple to grow, these red poppies offer a dazzling display of late season colour.

Red Poppies from Seed

Red poppies are easy to grow from seed. Annuals grow quickly and tolerate a range of soils, preferring a sunny position. Perennial red poppies are also quite easy to grow, though the flowers are more blousy and may need staking.
