Hi everyone, can anyone tell me the name of the poppies with the large seed heads please? Thank you




Answers

 

the annual one is the opium poppy, Papaver somnifera.
the perennial one doesn't have such a pretty seed capsule but it is a decent size, Papaver orientalis.

the opium poppy is easy,
scatter where you want them to grow. they don't transplant well really so I dont start them off in pots..
