Product description
Poppy 'Mother of Pearl' is a beautiful variety known for its delicate, soft-hued flowers in shades of pink, lilac, and white. These blooms bring a graceful and ethereal quality to any garden, making them perfect for naturalistic planting schemes or as a gentle contrast in more structured gardens. The flowers have a unique, translucent quality, adding a touch of mystery and elegance. This variety is particularly appreciated for its ability to self-seed, ensuring a natural spread of these stunning blooms year after year.
To grow Poppy 'Mother of Pearl', sow seeds directly outdoors from March to May, or sow in late summer for an earlier display the following year. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for the best results. After germination, thin the seedlings to about 15-30cm apart to give each plant enough room to grow and flourish. The plants are relatively low-maintenance, thriving in most soil types, and once established, they will reward you with a stunning display of flowers throughout the summer months.
Harvesting these poppies is easy; simply cut the flowers from June to September for use in indoor arrangements. Their soft, pastel shades add an elegant touch to any bouquet. Regular deadheading of spent flowers will encourage more blooms, ensuring your garden stays vibrant throughout the flowering season. With their ease of growth and charming appearance, Poppy 'Mother of Pearl' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of timeless beauty to their outdoor spaces.
