Double flowers with a silky appearance in shades of pink, white, red, rose, and salmon on 80 cm stems. Strong plants perform well in the heat and drought even though they are considered a cool-season plant. Sow Shirley Double Mix poppy seeds at two-week intervals from late February to mid-April for flowers from mid- to late summer. These poppies will self-sow, and they look spectacular in mass plantings. The flowers have a very delicate appearance, but the plants are actually quite tough. For cut flowers use a candle to sear the stem ends to help them last several days. Rely on Shirley Double to self-sow without becoming weedy.

The decorative plant blooms for a long time and intensively and rewards good caretaking with a grand blossoming. The care instructions explain all that is important for professional care of the Impatiens and shows how you can best optimize the growth and bloom without great effort. The Impatiens develop seed capsules that grow to be 1.5 to 2 centimeters in size. As soon as they are mature, the light green capsule directly opens already at a light touch and spreads its seeds explosively in the surrounding area. If one wants to grow their own busy Lizzies they should thus be careful to collect seeds before the capsules open.

Out of stockFive spot wildflowers are named for their distinct flowers: 2.5 cm light blue on white blossoms of five petals, each of which is tipped with a vivid, deep purple spot. They are reasonably compact plants that grow to 30 cm high and 20 cm wide and do not spread over the course of the summer. They prefer cool climates, germinating best in soil temperatures of 13-18 C. Perfect for cool springs. They should be able to survive if given lots of shade. They are annuals, and they’ll die back with the first frost. If allowed to die back naturally they reseeds and you will have new plants next year. They bloom consistently and impressively all spring long.
