Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas Mother of Pearl) - A beautiful mixture of pleated blooms in misty shades of grey, lilac, mauve, pink, soft orange, and white pirouette gracefully at the ends of the wiry stems. For an easily grown splash of color, few flowers can equal poppies with their flowers produced in profusion throughout the summer. Sow and forget, nearly all will flower in the first year from sowing.
Mother of Pearl is a Papaver rhoeas cultivar, which is also known as the common poppy, corn poppy, field poppy, or Flanders poppy. The plant has a clumping, spreading habit and is best displayed when grouped or massed in borders or beds. Easily grown from seed and extremely low maintenance, "Mother of Pearl" Poppy prefers full sun and organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils. It is intolerant of drought and overly wet, poorly drained soils. Growing best in cool summer climates, it does not perform well in high heat and humidity and may require some light afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Deadheading spent flowers keeps the poppy blooming. The flowers freely self-seed in suitable conditions, naturalizing and returning from year to year, performing more like a perennial than an annual. Deer and rabbit tend to leave papaver rhoeas alone.
