It's the simple poppies that I never see. Californians - no problem.- oriental, I'm not keen on. I've seen the odd weedy one pop up in the crack between the house and the path just to annoy me
Hi B3 do you mean the red flanders type of poppy? Or I have the really tall pink/purple/red ones, about a million of them last year. Well...several hundred then (i do exaggerate). I can send you seeds if you like them. I might have a pic if you arent sure.
I don't mean the red onesI just like the idea of them popping up randomly about the garden. Pretty much every year I try a packet - usually the Shirley poppies - but not always- and look out for the little grey seedlings - Zilch

sow them in the autumn, in the ground and leave them yo get on with it by themselves.

I'll give it another go I suppose. Just one or two would be nice

I have a baking hot south-facing bed. I never thought of watering before I planted them. Maybe that's the answer. Thanks Aym
I will Shirley thank you
