Once you've got them, they are there for ever, I reckon, as they are so good at seeding themselves!

These have self-seeded for several years now. They have spread to the veg garden this year too. Previously self-seeded poppies have appeared in the same spot but this year I haven't seen one :-(
Must remember to resow them, they look so well together.

Description: Beautiful and easy to grow, bearing flowers which seem to float amongst the finely cut leaves. They provide a charming show of bloom during the summer months. Very useful for bedding and cutting and the seed pods can be dried for winter decoration indoors.
Annual
Flowers: Summer
Colour: rich blue
Scent:?
Height 45cm (18in).
Sowing: Sow early spring to early summer outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 3mm (1/8in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart. Germination usually takes approximately 21 days.
Growing: When large enough to handle thin out to 23cm (9in) apart. They prefer a sunny open site but will grow in most sites and soils. An early autumn sowing can be made in sheltered areas for earlier flowers the following year.
