Poppy

Create a stunning display in your garden with these enormous bright flowers and bold gray-green foliage. Great addition to the perennial or cottage garden, where random re-seeding creates burst of color in any open spaces. Ornamental seed pods are wonderful dried for crafts and arrangements. Allow to reseed for repeat flowering and extended presence in the garden.
