Poppy - Colibri La Dolce Vita

PAPAVER NUDICAULE

Mix of all the best glorious shades of the Colibri Iceland Poppies. Includes Pastello, Salmonato & Bianco, with the odd pops of red & yellow.

Colibri poppies are Italian bred, supersized Iceland Poppies (Papaver nudicaule). As their flowers are larger they don't produce as many stems per plant as regular sized Iceland Poppies, but they absolutely make up for it with the largest, most unbelievable sized flowers in the prettiest colours!

If harvesting for cut-flowers, Colibri's need to be harvested a touch later than regular poppies 'split bud' stage, they pop open post-harvest more reliably if you wait a little longer until their pods have fully come off from the stem base.

*note Colibri poppies always have slightly lower germination rates than Springsong poppies, we got around 61% germination on these this year. We've popped some extra seeds in their packets, but if you are wanting a set number of plants we highly recommend you double sow to ensure you end up with enough plants.
