• Papaver orientale Beauty of Livermere from seed?

    I have a couple of plants of the above, and I would like more. I know
    I can divide the ones that I have, but this would only give me another
    two or three plants. The ones I have are setting seed ATM. If I let
    the seed ripen and sow it, will the seedlings come true?

    Why not make more from root cuttings?
