Sorry for the delay, the poppies I want to plant on the same patch as my Daffs are these.
There doesn't seem to be a name of any record of a name!

They'll be fine, they are just the annual type - sprinkle the seed around where you want them to grow sometime soon and they'll be up and flowering in no time  |

I would just sprinkle them & just very lightly rake them in.

 Jillyx  They're all gorgeous Jilly but I like this one especially. I've got LG's Burgundy Frills, they come up every year now, and I've got some Cherry Glow with big fat buds but none have opened yet. |

 I agree it's smashing I love the pink and the purple together but they're all lovely. I've ordered several packets of different poppies for next year. Do you sow yours in springtime Rosefriend |

Thanks for the nom Ladygardener... I normally sow in the Spring although I know that there isn't much that can kill poppy seeds, and I had a lovely packet all ready to sow and then each day there were more and more poppies coming through in the garden that I couldn't find any room for them. It turns out that OH threw handfuls of seeds all over in autumn!!! RF |

Ah that's interesting Rosefriend I remember reading somewhere that they can survive for 50 years or more and some of the ones Jenny sowed last summer only bloomed this summer. I'm unsure if I should sow some in autumn or leave it until springtime. Thing is I know rightly that I'll end up digging up this or that and the seedlings and maybe the seeds will endo up getting buried so I should leave it. Maybe early spring. This year I sowed april or so and most of them are still small seedlings. |

Ones that I want seeds from I have and am marking with pink cotton....then I shall see exactly where I want them next year and do a couple of small areas in autumn and a couple for later flowering in Spring...see if I can extend the season!! I also thought of doing a couple of tubs... RF |

Such delicate flowers, and so beautiful - they are all worthy of a nomination! For your white and red one RF A few more from me to add to the collections The frilly oriental ones  These are the large annuals - which have cross pollinated themselves over the years   and a 'true' Victoria Cross  |
