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.

Orientale Poppy (Papaver Orientale Mix) - Orientale Poppies add old-fashioned charm to gardens. These perennials establish well from Poppy seeds, and they grow well in sunny areas in soil that is well-drained. Oriental Poppy plants are hardy and do well in mountain wildflower gardens at high elevations. The silky, bowl-shaped flowers appear in late spring and burst from distinctive buds covered in bristly hairs. This Poppy mix includes shades of red, orange, pink, white and bi-colored forms. Many of the wildflowers feature inky-dark blotches at the base of the petals and colorful stamens in the center. Oriental Poppies have seed pods that will drop wildflower seeds for germination the following spring. There's nothing more beautiful than a meadow filled with Poppy wildflowers!
