Product Description

King Kong' is a popular Poppy variety that produces spectacular red flowers that quite simply cannot be ignored. They have large soft pleated petalled flowers that bloom from May through to August which develop on tall sturdy stems at a height of 1m. A perfect choice for gardeners looking to create a cottage garden atmosphere, they can be grown in borders or patio containers. They will also make wonderful cut flower displays to be enjoyed in the home. We recommend planting these magnificent perennials in fertile, well-drained soil in sunny areas where they will flourish. First-grade loose rooted plants supplied.
