Hardy Annual. This is a widely grown annual beloved for its shimmering flowers which grow easily from seed. These poppy's flowers are 2 inches across and come in shades of red, purple, white, pink, salmon or orange. Will self-sow and is a lovely choice for the wildflower garden. Try 'Mother of Pearl' for a delicate palette of pastels, including grey, soft blue, lilac, peach, dusty pink, and white with speckled and picotee bicolors. Full sun is essential.
