Shirley Poppy [ Papaver Rhoeas ] is a hardy annual native to Europe, and it has been naturalized throughout the United States. The plant naturalizes readily and is very easy to grow. The large 9cm blooms range in shades from white and pink, to red and are individually borne on erect hairy stems.
Shirley Poppy [ Papaver Rhoeas ] blooms at a time when the days are still cool and most other plants are weeks away from flowering. The foliage remains inconspicuous allowing the flower to express its full beauty. The plant is very delicate looking and long-lasting as a cut flower if the cut end is singed with a match flame as soon as it is cut.
The plant is great as a cut flower.
I have a HUGE range of annual seed, starting at R5 a packet
