Product description

Poppy 'Brilliant' is a vigorous annual variety known for its stunning, bright scarlet flowers with contrasting black centres. This variety is ideal for adding a dramatic splash of colour to borders, wildflower gardens, or naturalised areas. The striking blooms not only enhance the visual appeal of your garden but also attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, supporting garden biodiversity. Poppy 'Brilliant' is particularly well-suited to sunny locations with well-drained soil, making it an easy and rewarding choice for gardeners of all experience levels.

Sow Poppy 'Brilliant' seeds directly outdoors from March to May for a beautiful summer display, or from August to September for flowers the following year. Scatter the seeds thinly over finely prepared soil, then lightly rake them in. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to a spacing of about 30cm to allow room for growth. This variety thrives in full sun and prefers poor to moderately fertile soil, which helps to encourage more prolific flowering. Regular watering during dry periods will ensure strong growth and abundant blooms.

From June to September, enjoy a continuous display of these brilliant red flowers. They are perfect for cutting and adding to fresh floral arrangements, bringing a touch of the garden indoors. Deadheading spent blooms will prolong the flowering period, encouraging the plants to produce even more vibrant blossoms. With minimal care and an eye-catching presence, Poppy 'Brilliant' is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add bold, vivid colour to their garden.
