Papaver somniferum 'Black Peony'

Je kunt deze dubbele klaproos onmogelijk zwart noemen, maar wat is ze prachtig! Ze is donkerpaars in de zon en lokt veel insecten. Springt eruit in de border, als je ze combineert met andere bloemen.

Sowing Instructions
Poppies are enthusiastic light germinators. That means they need sunlight to germinate and thus should not be covered with a layer of soil. That makes the difference between good and bad germination. You can sow directly in the open ground, or you can pre-sow in seed trays. Poppies do not like to be transplanted, but in seed trays you do not disturb the young roots. Keep the soil moist, but not wet. Poppies need some time to germinate. If conditions are favorable, they will germinate after 2 to 3 weeks.
