I would like to increase my oriental poppy, can I lift and divide? I believe that seeds do not come true to type...
You can lift and divide now. Don't leave it too long, mine are already
romping away.
Many thanks I will try it over this weekend......
They will also grow from root cuttings, taken in autumn or winter, if you want a lot of plants. Division best now, as Fidget says.
Many thanks to Liriodendron and pansyface for your comments...
I took quite a few root cuttings last summer from my 'pattys plum'. Despite birds pulling out the cuttings a few times and me replacing them, they seem to be doing pretty well. I plan to plant out after easter.
