Comments: Field Poppy cultivars provide a variety of
flower colors and forms. These can be used as cut flowers
but the cut end needs to be seared after cutting.

best growth. The plants are at their best during cool
weather.
Propagation: Propagation is by seed sown directly into the
garden as the plants dislike transplanting.
