Temperature, light, and drainage are crucial factors for growing Colibri® Corallo as a cut flower. The plant thrives in cool climates with ample sunlight and air circulation. The soil should be light and well-drained to promote strong stems and healthy roots.
Cultivation guidelines for growers:
Sowing: Sow early (winter – early spring) for an early and even flowering period.
Planting distance: 20–25 cm for optimal airflow and straight, sturdy stems.
Watering: Water moderately; avoid soggy soil. Poppies are susceptible to root rot.
Harvest time: Cut the stems as soon as the buds begin to color and are just about to open.
Aftercare: Briefly dip the stems in warm water or use a burning technique to stabilize the sap; follow with cut flower food.
