Papaver somniferum

'Kykeon Afghan #2'

Another one of my selections, very similar to my Kykeon Afghan #1, but with a few differences. It will do better with unpredictable British spring and summers. Plants flower a lot sooner, grow a little shorter, and the seeds pods are barrel shaped.

The flowers are classic pink and white, though they still need a little selecting with the colour shades, I still haven’t decided on pale pink or dark pink, also you may find a few pure white flowers in the mix, this also leaves a little room for you select the colours you like. Seeds sown in March will produce plants 2ft or more and start flowering around the middle of June here for me.
Happy growing.
