Question 1

When is the best time to sow Shirley Double poppy seeds?

Accepted Answer

Sow Shirley Double poppy seeds in early spring or autumn, directly where they are to flower. Autumn sowings often flower a little earlier the following year.

Question 2

Do Shirley Double poppies come back every year?

Accepted Answer

They’re usually grown as annuals, but will often self-seed if you leave some seedheads to ripen, so they can reappear in the same spot year after year.

Question 3

Do you deadhead Shirley Double poppies?

Accepted Answer

Yes – deadheading spent blooms will keep plants flowering for longer. Towards the end of summer, leave a few flowers to form seedheads if you’d like them to self-seed.

Question 4

Are Shirley Double poppies easy to grow from seed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shirley Double poppy seeds are easy to grow when sown directly outdoors into well-drained soil. They germinate quickly, need little maintenance, and are ideal for beginner gardeners.

Question 5

Are Shirley Double poppies good for cut flowers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shirley Double poppies are excellent cut flowers, valued for their delicate, multi-layered petals and soft, romantic colours. Cut stems just as the buds are starting to open for the longest vase life. Regular cutting also encourages the plants to keep producing new blooms.
