Are there different types of poppy seeds?
If one speaks of the poppy, then many people think of the poppy on the edge of the field. However, there are several species that are ideal for the local flower garden. Choose between annual and perennial varieties and different flower colors.
Which poppy species are there?
Particularly robust is the Iceland poppy, which with its up to 15 cm large flowers is also very suitable for cooler regions. There are different forms of breeding, both annual and perennial. The flower color varies from white to yellow to bright orange. The paeonia poppy also fascinates with very large but filled flowers. These flowers are reminiscent of peonies, which gave him the name.
Even the perennial Turkish poppy is with its up to 10 cm large flowers a popular garden plant. Here you have the choice between the colors white, yellow, salmon, orange or fire red. In addition to all the breeding forms you can of course also plant poppies in your garden. He feels well in a dry location and proliferates by self-sowing.
Make the right choice
Before you decide on a particular poppy variety, find out about the needs of different species. For example, the Turkish poppy likes to be warm and dry, while Iceland poppy prefers cooler temperatures. The size of the plants plays an important role in the selection. With a height of about 20 cm, the Alpine poppy requires quite different space and neighbors than the high-pitched Turkeys poppy.
Since the individual poppy plants bloom only a few days, they should not necessarily stand alone. Only in the group does her beauty really stand out. The combination with other perennials is also recommended. So there are no ugly gaps when the poppy has blossomed out.
