Details

This 2-3 foot poppy is truly a prize. Bears mostly double 3-4 inch crinkly blossoms in bright red, salmon, pure white, and light pink. Very delicate in appearance, and long lasting as a cut flower if the cut end is burned immediately with a match. Sow successively for bloom from spring through summer. In the same family as California Poppy, and primarily native to the Old World, these poppies are graced with more abundant foliage and larger flowers. They bloom from mid to late-summer, and the season can be extended if they are kept dead-headed. Will self sow.
