{"product_id":"poppy-mix","title":"Poppy Mix","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1057\" data-start=\"442\"\u003eOur Poppy Mix is a vibrant and diverse collection of poppies that adds colour, texture, and elegance to your garden all summer long. With a range of colours and bloom shapes, these hardy annuals thrive in sunny locations and provide food for pollinators while offering long-lasting visual interest. They are perfect for wildflower plantings, borders, and cut flower arrangements. The fine roots of young seedlings do not transplant well, so it's best to sow seeds directly where you want them to flourish. Once established, they self-seed easily, returning year after year with joyful abandon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1272\" data-start=\"1059\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1092\" data-start=\"1059\"\u003eWhere Can You Grow Poppy Mix?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1095\" data-start=\"1092\"\u003eThis mix performs best in Zones 3-9, preferring full sun and well-drained soil.
