About usPoppies Direct is a small business providing one of the biggest selections of Poppies in Australasia.
Owned and operated in a partnership with my husband, and based in rural North Canterbury where we farm. Keen gardeners, we love getting our hands into the garden as often as we can with the enthusiastic assistance of our two preschool age daughters and under the watchful eye of our wee son. Poppies Direct arose from our love affair with poppies and our difficulty in finding varieties of poppies to plant. While there has been a trend towards more formality, structure and ease of care in garden landscape in recent years and a move away from the traditional flower garden, many of you like ourselves enjoy nothing better than a garden bursting with colour and cram packed with flowers. Poppies are a perfect addition to these types of garden – prolific flowerers, self- seeding and strong stemmed. Never complete or finished gardens always have room for new plants and new varieties released. Gardner’s relish discovering something new and we soon find a ‘spot’ to plant it. May you be able find many ‘spots’ that you could fill with poppies - whether that patch in the courtyard, that space under the roses, or that wide border along the driveway. We are proud to bring you Poppies Direct and it’s fabulous selection. We hope you enjoy discovering our poppies, in all their varied colour and form, as much as we enjoy bringing them to you. |
