Running through this bed at Great Dixter, Sussex, was Papaver dubiumsubsp.lecoqii ‘Albiflorum’ (Beth’s poppy) that was just starting to flower. This delicate poppy is an annual that will self-sow in a sunny, well drained site.

A wonderful self-seeder between other plants is Meconopsis cambrica (Welsh poppy) with bright yellow flowers and Meconopsis cambricavar.aurantiaca providing a splash of orange. This biennial or short-lived perennial has a tap-root with light green, pinnately lobed leaves. They are easy to grow in situ from seed sprinkled on the soil.
