Wood Poppy (at last) and a new Plant Availability List

I finally have an ample supply of Wood Poppy. They are looking very nice and many are in flower or are in bud. Wood Poppy is unusual among native plants – its main bloom period is in late spring but it often blooms sporadically after that and, very often, has a second flush of blooms in late summer. The bright yellow poppy flowers are extraordinarily showy for a wildflower for shade. Altogether, it is easy to understand why this is sought after wildflower.

By this time in the season, there are species for which I only have one or two pots left. These species in small quantities, and other oddments, do not make it on to the availability lists. Also, many of the spring bloomers may be looking pretty shabby in the summer heat, and I leave them off as well, though I may still have some in stock. The best way to get the full range of plants is to come to the farm in Bristol. You can also see most of the plants growing – the best way to really understand the form and size of the diverse species.
