Red Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas) - The drought tolerant Red Poppy is one of the most popular wildflowers in all the world, and it easily establishes from Poppy seeds. It is also known as Shirley Poppy, Flanders Poppy, American Legion Poppy, (the red poppy is the symbol of the American Legion, handed out for Memorial Day), and in England, Corn Poppy. This wildflower is native to most of all Europe and North Africa. Growing Poppies from seed is such a rewarding experience. Red Poppies are favorites with xeriscape gardeners because they grow so successfully from wildflower seed, and they transform a dull boring landscape into an intense display of gorgeous red blooms. Since they are annuals, they grow quickly from flower seeds each spring and drop new Red Poppy wildflower seed in the fall.

Poppy (Papaver rupifragum Double Tangerine Gem) - This perennial flower is a native of Morocco and brings saturated tangerine tones to the most rocky and arid landscapes. Fully double orange blooms of overlapping rings of paper-thin silky petals with Ferny, silver-blue foliage only growing 12 inches tall. Sunlight makes the translucent petals of Papaver Double Tangerine positively glow with color. The fascinating attractive seedpods will add a nice touch to dried arrangements. This cute little robust plant looks best in a rock garden or edging a hot, sunny border.
This pollinator-attracting blooms in the first year and reseeds readily. In 1890, Sir William Jackson Hooker described finding P. rupifragum growing in dry, rocky places of southern Morocco at an elevation of 6,000 - 7,000 feet. Indeed, this drought-tolerant plant is perfect for meadows, xeriscaping, rocky gardens, and sunny, dry locations!
