Poppy – Shirley Single Mix

The Shirley Poppy is a delightful garden classic, developed as a subspecies of the Red Poppy. This variety produces charming single-petaled blooms in soft shades of pink, red, and white, adding a romantic and airy touch to borders, cottage gardens, and wildflower plantings.

Shirley Poppies thrive in full sun and prefer to be sown directly outdoors, as they do not tolerate root disturbance. The seeds are very small and require only shallow planting—often the easiest method is to scatter them on loose garden soil and lightly water them in. Transplanting is possible but should be done only when seedlings are very young. In most U.S. regions, Shirley Poppies can be planted in spring or fall for beautiful seasonal blooms.

With their delicate colors and graceful single petals, Shirley Single Mix Poppies are an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance choice for gardeners looking to create a soft, colorful display in sunny areas.
