Description

Salmone is a little more demanding to grow and suits you if you enjoy a growing challenge.

It is an elegant Siberian poppy with soft salmon coloured flowers and thin, almost transparent petals on long, sturdy stems.

Once it settles in and comes into bloom it is incredibly beautiful, both in the border and woven into summer bouquets.

Care and cultivation advice

This variety can be started indoors or sown directly in the growing site. Definitely a cultivation challenge, but the result is unbeatable once you succeed!

Starting indoors:

Start indoors in February–March in potting soil topped with seed-starting mix. Broadcasting the seeds is easiest, as they are very small. Once the seedlings appear, they prefer to be transplanted into individual pots and kept a bit cooler, ideally around 12–18°C (54–64°F). When the roots start to show at the bottom of the pot, it's time to move them into a larger one. The Siberian poppy can be planted outside once it has been hardened off and the risk of frost has passed.

Direct sowing:

Sow directly in the growing site from April to June when the soil has warmed up. Keep the soil moist throughout the germination process. Thin out the seedlings to a spacing of 20 cm. This variety can also be sown in late summer or autumn for overwintering and flowering the following year!
