Papaver rhoeas
Delicate silky white petals and a yellow center. It lives up to its name literally!
We have been growing Poppies since the first days of Loukykvět, and this year we are returning to them. The Poppy needs more care as a cut flower and does not last as long in a vase. But! It is such a beauty that it is worth it anyway.
Here is our guide for Poppies. We harvest buds that have just cracked open. It is enough to see a crack on the bud and the color inside. The Poppy has only a few petals, so it takes a moment to open. We trim the ends fresh and scald them in hot water (just boil water and use it immediately), or singe the ends with a flame. The heat helps the Poppy open paths for water absorption and it will not wilt. We arrange freshly opened pieces or buds in bouquets, knowing the Poppy will open during the day.
If you plan to sow Poppies just for pleasure in the flower bed, none of this is necessary, of course :)
