Originating in Tajikistan, this poppy produces delicate, bright tangerine orange flowers on tall, thin stems over pinnate, hirsute foliage in summer. Height 30 cm. Sun in moisture retentive, well-drained soil.
Sow from March to June. Surface sow small seeds thinly, press in gently and keep top of pot moist. Keep pot warm at 15 to 20°C until germination, then move to somewhere cooler.
Carefully prick out seedlings when they have developed true leaves and are large enough to transplant to individual pots to grow on.
