{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-poppy-californian-golden-west","title":"Poppy Californian Golden West","description":"\u003cp\u003eSilky cups of golden-yellow with a deep orange heart, sitting on mounds of finely cut silver-blue foliage at 25 to 30cm. The foliage alone is worth the space before a flower opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the plant for the patch of dry poor ground where nothing settles. \u003cstrong\u003eThe poorer the soil the better it flowers; manure or feed it and you get lush leaves and almost nothing else.\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun is not negotiable either, because the flowers stay shut in shade. \u003cstrong\u003eThey also close in the evening and on dull days\u003c\/strong\u003e, twisting into neat spirals, which is a protection mechanism and does mean a grey week gives you very little. On a bright morning it is a pool of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt self-seeds prolifically. The long pods split in late summer and scatter, so once you have it in a gravel path or on a dry bank it tends to stay for good. And it cannot be moved: the roots are deep and sensitive and a transplanted plant almost always dies, so sow it exactly where you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54578470453581,"sku":"POP-CAL","price":2.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/204880031b6fb6fa797df59_upscale.jpg?v=1787654786","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-poppy-californian-golden-west","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
