I can imagine white would be lovely, I was considering taking them out, iv quite a large clump of them and they take up a fair amount of space, then after a short time im left with a bunch of green leaves....Dont know what to do???

Will they grow in a Pot ? Then when theyv finished flower u can place it out of site if u dont like just the leafs showing ? :)

Iv never tried them in a pot, but well worth a go, thanks Jacque...........A bit more space for Dahlias then...:) lol....

Lovely poppies........

After the have flowered cut them right back. water and feed and they will grow some nice fresh leaves. It also gives you space to plant dahlias. Split the clump in Autumn or early spring
