These popular flower seeds can be annual, biennial or perennial, and come in a range of colours from traditional red through to more unusual blue and white. You can even grow giant poppies for a big, bold and breathtaking statement! For meadows and natural planting schemes, several of our wildflower seed mixes also contain poppy seeds.

Order your poppy seeds from Thompson & Morgan and grow a diverse collection of colourful and elegant blooms. Spring sowing (between March and May) results in summer blooms, but you might have to wait until the following year for a really healthy display. Autumn sowing (from September to October) gives you flowers the following spring, and you’re likely to get more flowers in your first season. Read our expert tips on how to grow poppies for helpful advice and, if you’re rewilding a patch of garden, see the top ten wildflowers that our horticultural team recommend.
