Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The huge, single, stained-glass red flowers of this rare Turkish poppy are a delight, and so is the rest of the plant - a bushy, 3' tall and 3' wide thing. An added bonus are the buds - large, smooth, and raindrop shaped on curved stems look really neat sprinkled throughout the foliage! Try it & see!
