Jimi said, wave your freak flag high", or that's what I think he said, it was the 60s after all. Anyhoo, this is a wonderful poppy with lustrous fringed petals of purple and red, or pink and white, we welcome all! Grow in cool soils, fertile and well-drained and thin early for plenty of room around each plant for the best show.
