Does someone you know murder every plant you’ve ever given them? Well, THIS is seriously the plant you want to give them to build their confidence back up. Almost never out of bloom & incredibly tough, “Spanish Poppy” grows anywhere as long as it gets at least 4 hours of sun. The 3” soft apricot-orange semi-double blooms appear continuously on 30” long upright stems above a pretty flattish rosette of blue-green leaves to 1’ wide & 4” high. A perennial Poppy from the hot & dry areas of Spain & Morocco, it’ll even self-sow in the cracks of a dry rock wall! You can forget to water it for weeks & it’ll still bloom Spring thru Fall. With average to rich soil & a bit of Summer water it will bloom even more. Tough, drought tolerant & not fussy about soil (give it some drainage).
