I'd rave about the warm salmon-orange flowers with all their classic poppy grace and charm, only the foliage is SO much cooler! The leaves are deeply cut, intensely silver, and form a tiny (only an inch or two across) rosette. The flats of these growing in pots at the greenhouse look like so many tiny,exquisite lace doilies. And yes, it does flower, as mentioned, on long stems dancing over the wonderful leaves Zone 5

Though it won't bloom its first year, this rare poppy is an exquisite sight-a foliage rosette that looks like a silver-blue filagree doily. In its second year 2' stems bear diaphanous Apricot flowers late Spring-Summer. TOUGH, drought-tolerant and it reseeds with abandon.
