Winter doesn't need to be dull especially when you have Iceland Poppies to admire! The jewel-like colours are absolutely gorgeous, so bring a bit of spring into your garden even though it's winter. Although Iceland poppies can survive for more than one year in cooler climates, they are best grown as annuals for a fresh display of blooms each winter. The blooms last reasonably well in the vase and are great for cottage-style flower arrangements.

Growing Information
How to Sow
To get winter blooms, sow your Iceland Poppies in autumn. Later sowings will bloom in spring. Scatter the seeds thinly where they are to grow and cover with a light sprinkling of soil. You can also grow them in containers, but you may lose a few owing to transplant shock.
