This plant never fails to attract attention in gardens where it thrives. With its intricately divided foliage and abundant, vivid scarlet flowers adorned with central black, ladybird-like markings, it stands out. Despite being an annual, if it finds a favourable spot in your garden, it will generously reseed itself year after year. Hardy across the British Isles, it reaches a height of 30-60cm. For an effortlessly cultivated burst of colour, few flowers rival poppies, consistently blooming profusely throughout the summer.
