Product Information
Full details
The Thompson & Morgan Poppy Angels Choir is an ideal choice for home gardeners looking to add a delicate, fairy-like aesthetic to containers, borders, or wildlife areas with minimal fuss. These hardy annuals provide a season-long display of double blooms in shades of purple, pink, and cream, effectively attracting pollinating insects to your garden. While these flowers offer a stunning visual impact and high nectar value, users should note that all parts of the plant are harmful if ingested, making them unsuitable for areas accessible to curious pets or small children.

FAQs
When is the best time to sow Poppy Angels Choir seeds?
You can sow them outdoors from spring to early summer, or in the autumn for a display the following season.
How deep should I plant the seeds?
Seeds should be sown shallowly, at a depth of approximately 1.5mm (1/16in).
Can I grow these in pots?
Yes, these poppies are excellent for containers as long as the pot has good drainage and receives full sun.
How tall do they grow?
When fully established, these poppies can reach a height of up to 75cm (29.5in).
Are these poppies toxic?
Yes, the product instructions specify that they are harmful if eaten, so please keep them away from pets and children.
How much space does each plant need?
To allow for a spread of 30cm, you should thin the seedlings out to 30cm (12in) apart.
Troubleshooting
Seeds failing to germinate
Ensure the soil is not too cold or waterlogged and that seeds were not buried deeper than 1.5mm.
Plants are weak or falling over
Ensure the plants have enough sun and are spaced at least 30cm apart to prevent overcrowding and stretching.
Flowers are sparse
Check the soil drainage; while they are hardy, they do not perform well in heavy, stagnant water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Soil Preparation: Ensure the ground is workable by raking it to a fine tilth before sowing.
- Sowing Depth: Plant seeds at a depth of 1.5mm (1/16in).
- Spacing: Sow in rows 30cm (12in) apart. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to ensure each plant has 30cm of space to spread.
- Sunlight: Choose a site that receives full sun for optimal bloom production.
- Maintenance: Regularly remove weeds around the base of the plants to encourage growth.
- Safety: Since the plant is harmful if eaten, ensure it is planted away from areas where children or pets consume plants.
