Corn Poppy Plug Plants Papaver rhoeas
Common names include, common poppy, field poppy, Flanders poppy and red poppy.
Brighten your garden or meadow with this beautiful and distinctive annual wildflower. An RHS Plants for Pollinator species, the delicate papery red flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. The field poppy grows best in a sunny position on well-drained soil.
Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.
Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.
We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
