SHIRLEY POPPY SEEDS
Papaver rhoeas
Our gardens wouldn't be complete with out Shirley poppies. For us they are the true "harbingers of spring." They bloom at a time when their bright and cheery faces are most appreciated - the days are still cool and most other plants are weeks away from flowering. If sown successively the bloom will be extended through the summer. Flowers are good for cutting if the fresh cut is seared with a match. Naturalizes readily, easy to grow. Grows to 2-3 feet tall.
