Under the evocative name Food Not Lawns – Remix , this poppy mix finds its natural place in a bountiful, productive garden. The delicate, silky poppy flowers sway in the breeze, marking the rhythm of the seasons with their colorful blooms. Their presence brings a touch of lightness to both vegetable gardens and flowerbeds, in a living garden approach that embraces diversity.

In welcoming, well-drained soil, poppies quietly make their way to the top, creating vibrant little scenes day by day. Once established, they require little but offer much: consistent flowering, a graceful silhouette, and a unique way of evoking the simplicity of traditional direct sowing in the garden. They integrate naturally into any harmonious space, whether it be a vegetable patch, a border, or a more natural corner, and contribute to the creation of a rich and diverse ecosystem.

Growing climate: Cool season
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
Care required: Occasional
Growth: Rapid growth

Note: Poppies do not like to be transplanted; direct sowing in the garden in well-drained soil gives the best results.

Annual poppies are traditionally cultivated for their ornamental flowers and, for some species or strains, for their small seeds used to decorate breads and pastries. Depending on the specific mix and varieties it contains, the harvest may be reserved for strictly ornamental use in the garden. The flowers add a rustic touch to short-lived bouquets, while the dried seed pods, once fully ripe, can be used for dried decorations or for seed harvesting where appropriate. It is always advisable to check the recommended uses for each poppy variety before consuming the seeds or any other part of the plant.
