The Double Mix Shirley Poppy is a delicate crinkly double-petaled poppy mix in charming shades of hot pink, scarlet, carnation pink, and white. This European poppy has been perfected since 1880 to become horticulturist Reverend William Wilk's famous dark-blotchless, vivid-colored, fluffy-textured poppy of Shirley, England. Growing up to 2 feet tall, these poppies are perfect for borders, wildflower gardens, or as a striking addition to your floral arrangements. These poppies are ideal for creating a naturalized look in your garden, and their vibrant blooms attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Also Known As: Shirley Double Poppy, Double Shirley Poppy, Double Flowering Shirley Poppy, Shirley Poppy Double Mix, Papaver Rhoeas Double Shirley.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Plant 1/4 inch deep in early Spring after danger of frost and soil temperature is at least 60F. In USDA Zones 7 and warmer, this seed can be fall planted. Poppies do not transplant well, and must be planted while very small if started indoors.
