Or root cuttings so easy to do , dig up the clump in the Autumn , look for a root pencil thickness , I used to cut about 4 inches of root make sure you keep the right way up best tip cut the top level and a slant cut at the bottom , plant in a pot multipurpose is fine plant them upright with the top of the cutting level with the compost and then cover in grit , I normally keep in the greenhouse over winter , just keep on the moist side and they will romp away in the spring plant out late April.

Its the 1st year I have tried growing oriental poppies in this garden so who knows and the bargains I had from B&Q are coming on a treat and should all be flowering over the next week or two haven't a clue what they are but bought from the sale plants had not been watered for days but I knew a good soak and they would be fine , but last two gardens they would just fade away. I have grown Pattys Plum the colour is amazing Armandii fab photos as well

When we first started here, I bought a packet of mixed coloured seed. Sown and then planted out in a row to await flowering except a couple I gave to my Mother in Law. Everyone was the same red except the 2 lovely orange ones which I had given away. Worse still, it took years to get rid of the ones I had in rows. I think there is still one of them there now. Moral, if you grow them from seed, keep them all, in pots until they flower, then give them away!
