When the poppies bloom in the fields, summer inevitably begins. Although the individual flowers only appear for a few days, the bright orange-red poppy is hard to miss because there are new flowers every day.
Poppies bloom into September
Garden poppies come in different varieties and colors, and the flowering time also varies. The double flowers of the peony poppy can reach a diameter of up to 10 cm. They are reminiscent of peonies, which also gave it its name. If you have decided to plant gold poppies, you may even be able to look forward to two-tone flowers.
The essentials in brief:
- Poppy blossom shows the beginning of summer
- the individual flowers only bloom for a few days
- new flowers every day
- Beginning of flowering from May
- End of the flowering period, depending on the variety, from July to September
