Bright red annual flowers for sunny borders

pheasant's eye seeds are a classic choice for gardeners who want vivid, poppy-like colour in an easy annual display. Also known as adonis flower seeds, this variety is valued for its blood-red, ranunculus-like blooms that stand out in mixed plantings. The finely divided, ferny foliage adds a light, airy texture that contrasts beautifully with broader-leaved companions. Botanical name: Adonis aestivalis.

Ideal for cottage gardens and rockeries

These annual wildflower seeds suit a range of ornamental settings, including full sun border flowers, naturalistic beds, and cottage garden wildflowers where a bright red accent is welcome. As red flowering annual seeds, they pair well with other seasonal bloomers and can be used to create scattered colour through informal plantings. They are also a good fit for rock garden flower seeds collections, where the delicate foliage and compact habit complement stones and low-growing plants.

Plant habit, height, and site preference notes

This is an annual flower that typically reaches around 30 cm in height, making it suitable for the front to middle of borders and for smaller garden spaces. For best ornamental performance, choose an open, sunny position; pheasant's eye seeds full sun placement helps highlight the rich flower colour. The plant prefers not to sit in overly wet conditions, so a well-drained spot is recommended, especially in heavier soils.
