A vibrant Arctic Poppy with bright yellow blooms that really stand out. Poppy 'Mongolia' is a tall cultivar with sturdy upright stems that make superb cut flowers. Plant them in dense groups towards the middle of cottage garden borders for a beautiful summer display. These seeds are handy in the kitchen too, as they're delicious when sprinkled on bread, cakes and biscuits.
Arctic Poppy loves to self seed and is also an excellent choice for wildlife areas where the blooms will provide a good supply of nectar for pollinating insects. Flowers May-August. Height 60-70cm (24-28"); spread 20-30cm (8-12").
