Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another spectacular Poppy for you Poppy lovers! Like ‘Danebrog’ but bright pink. Huge, single, 5” flowers with a white maltese cross in the center, are set off by the bright yellow stamens around the large, seed forming center. The richer your soil, the taller the poppy gets - from 3’-5’ tall. The dried seed heads are great for dry arrangements & cool craft projects for the kids. Reseeds! Due to Agricultural Restrictions we cannot ship this plant to West Virginia.
