Cut Flower Poppy Amazing Grey Seedling Pack

Papaver rhoeas

Cut Flower Amazing Grey Poppy seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.

If there is one flower that always draws comment in our patch, it is the Amazing Grey poppy. Stunning shades of grey, lavender and mauve, with a mix of single, double and frilly flowers. There really is no other flower like it. 

Somewhat fleeting in the vase, around 2 or 3 days if picked in cracked bud, but she is worth every minute of it! Or if you can't bear to pick them, leave them in the garden for the bumbles to enjoy. It's not uncommon to see two or three at a time in these flowers. Absolutely prolific with her flowering, and leaving behind the sweetest chocolatey seed pods, this is a must grow.

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.

This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
