A Kaleidoscope of Colour in Every Packet

The Mixed Breadseed Poppy (Papaver somniferum) is a cottage garden classic that brings a glorious sweep of colour — from soft blush and lilac to deep burgundy and white — all in one packet. Plant a drift of these and watch your garden transform into something truly magical from late spring through summer.

Why Gardeners Love It

  • 🌸 Multi-colour mix — single and double blooms in a stunning range of shades
  • 📏 Grows 60–120 cm tall — perfect for mid to back-of-border planting
  • 🌿 Ornamental seed pods — beautiful fresh or dried in floral arrangements
  • 🐝 Attracts bees and pollinators — a wildlife-friendly choice for any NZ garden
  • 🌱 Easy to grow — direct sow in autumn or early spring; self-seeds freely for years of colour

Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow directly into well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Autumn sowing works best across most NZ regions, allowing natural cold stratification over winter for strong spring germination. Thin seedlings to 20–30 cm apart. Once established, these poppies are low-maintenance and will self-seed generously, giving you a naturalistic display year after year.

What's in the Packet

Each packet contains 30 seeds of Papaver somniferum (Mixed colours), with growing instructions included.
