Bright Summer Flowers

August is such a wonderful time for all of us flower lovers as our gardens are full of vibrant flowers and gorgeous scents. Whilst our gardens will all be different in both size and colour, one flower which we might all have in common is the poppy. You might have chosen to plant a perennial poppy in your garden, or perhaps scattered some seeds to create your own wildflower meadow. However, it is highly likely that you find poppies just appearing in your garden as if from nowhere after their seeds were blown in by the wind.

Delicate Poppies 

Poppies are usually in flower from May - August, however each individual flower is only likely to last a few days or a week at most. This is due to their delicate paper-thin petals which are easily destroyed by summer rain or wind. Poppies also make great cut flowers, however you will still struggle to get them to last longer than about a week in water. The only way to enjoy their beauty for longer than a few months of the year, is to choose to go faux.

We have a fabulous selection of poppies in a variety of colours which are perfect for giving your interior that natural look. Here are some of our top poppy picks:
