Mawseed poppy "Orel" - Papaver somniferum L.
Poppy variety, the seeds of which do not spill out of the poppy box. Seeds are white.
Agrotechnics.
Poppies do not require special care. Light-loving, cold-resistant, not demanding to the soil plant. Seeds are sown in open ground: in late April, early May.
Seedlings appear on the 7-12th day, they are thinned out, leaving 25-20 cm between plants. Plant transplantation is poorly tolerated.
Seeds can be sown at several times (every two weeks), then flowering will continue all summer. If you remove wilted flowers, you can prolong flowering.
It responds well to the application of mineral and organic fertilizers. This gives the leaves a rich dark green color, the flowers are larger, the color is brighter.
As an ornamental plant, mainly forms of this species are used with large, double, very beautiful flowers with a diameter of 6 to 15 cm.
There are forms with double flowers and dissected petals (var. laciniata) and with entire petals (var. paeoniflorum), whose flowers look like peonies.
When sown in early spring in open ground, poppy blooms in 1.5-2 months.
Seeds can be sown at several times, every two weeks, then flowering will last all summer.
Usually, poppies bloom for a short time, but in those moments when the petals bloom, they become full owners of the garden: all eyes are drawn to them, it is they who warm and fill the garden with their double flowers, it is simply impossible to ignore this blooming carpet...
