Remembrance Day Poppy, Flowers
Non-GMO
$2.49
Conjuring iconic images of open fields dotted with their lipstick hue, these classic poppies exude nostalgia and romance. They have also held powerful symbolism since World War I as an emblem of remembrance and hope for peace. Beyond the well-known red variety, the painterly palette of shades found in newer cultivars is worth exploring, including almost iridescent mauve, merlot, blush and lavender. Shirley poppies can be sown successively in spring for summer blooms in zones where nights remain cool. This variety prefers direct seeding, but transplanting is possible.
Hardiness zone: 3-9
Bloom time: April-June (potentially later in cooler zones)
