What plants can be good for flower fields such as those in Farm Tomita, Japan?

Hi! Thank you for keeping the beautiful botanic garden! 
May I ask some questions? 
I saw a farm in North Japan, farm tomita, and they have many beautiful flowers. 
https://www.farm-tomita.co.jp/
 I want to ask, 
1. What kind of plant can grow well in Gothenburg, and can be used to create such flower fields? 
2. Can poppy be grown in Gothenburg? Can poppy seeds be collected and sold? The plants can have beautiful flowers, and good commercial value. 
I am very curious about these questions, because I think, is it possible to have a farm similar to Farm Tomita? 
I think it's difficult for farms to be profitable through dairy products or oats. But a farm with flower fields may attract more visitors. That's why I ask these questions.
Thank you very much!

  • Such excellent ideas!
    I might personally steal it right off, if you  don´t mind!
    When I retire in a few years from now I might just do that, at my farm a few km north from the city, reachable with train and bus in half-n-hour from Gothenburg centre! A sign by the road: Pick your own bouqet of flowers!...

    Poppy is a good suggestion, lavender, as in some pictures of Farm Tomita homepage, another.
    it is a good idea with flowers that can be used as "eternelles", that kan be picked during a rather long season and dried. examples:
    Angelica
    Carlina
    Accillea
    Limonium
    Anaphalis
    Eryngium...
    plus numerous decorative grass species

    Together with this, of course numerous species of spice herbs.

    Hope this gave some inspirational ideas.
