Papaver Orientale

Orientale Poppy (Papaver Orientale Mix) - Orientale Poppies add old-fashioned charm to gardens. These perennials establish well from Poppy seeds, and they grow well in sunny areas in soil that is well-drained. Oriental Poppy plants are hardy and do well in mountain wildflower gardens at high elevations. The silky, bowl-shaped flowers appear in late spring and burst from distinctive buds covered in bristly hairs. This Poppy mix includes shades of red, orange, pink, white and bi-colored forms. Many of the wildflowers feature inky-dark blotches at the base of the petals and colorful stamens in the center. Oriental Poppies have seed pods that will drop wildflower seeds for germination the following spring. There's nothing more beautiful than a meadow filled with Poppy wildflowers!

Eschscholzia californica

California Poppy (Eschscholzia Californica Cherry Swirl) - Boasting flamboyant semi to fully double, bright red blooms with contrasting golden eyes. The papery petals stand up to all types of summer weather, blooming throughout the season above attractive ferny foliage. It features the familiar wandering stems, to 10 inches wide, each clothed in ferny foliage.

These dainty hardy annuals are tougher than they appear and positively thrive on poor, dry soils. California poppies are easy to grow in beds and borders, or let them self seed throughout gravel gardens to form natural drifts.  A plant that enjoys a sunny site with poor, well-drained soil. Honey bees, bumblebees & sweat bees all seek its nectar while some local butterflies will also seek out this nutrition. This poppy is ideal for adding color to any sunny location, it can establish in a problem area & it seems to happily harmonize with annuals & perennials alike. Ideal for a container too! Plant in any fast-draining soil in full sun and as with most poppies it is considererd deer resistant.

Papaver Rhoeas

Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas Pandora) - This brilliant new corn poppy is a colorful choice. "Pandora", a strikingly lovely, color-laden 15 - 25 inch tall long lived poppy which sets impressive flowers with crepe papery, tissue-like petals in surprising combinations of shades, from deep burgundy red to pinkish red, with silver-grey stripes on the lower petals. Surface-sow seed in sunny garden bed in winter, early spring, and late autumn for an extended bloom period. "Pandora" poppies will thrive in prepared, well-drained, fertilized soil.

This hardy annual offers late spring and summer interest, with attractive black seedpods extending the season of interest. The showy saucer-shaped blooms change colors gradually and attract birds and bees to the garden and make lovely cut flowers if stems are singed before placing it in water.

Pandora is a Papaver rhoeas cultivar, which is also known as the common poppy, corn poppy, field poppy, or Flanders poppy. The plant has a clumping, spreading habit and is best displayed when grouped or massed in borders or beds.

Easily grown from seed and extremely low maintenance, 'Pandora' Poppy prefers full sun and organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils. It is intolerant of drought and overly wet, poorly drained soils. Growing best in cool summer climates, it does not perform well in high heat and humidity and may require some light afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Deadheading spent flowers keeps the poppy blooming. The flowers freely self-seed in suitable conditions, naturalizing and returning from year to year, performing more like a perennial than an annual. Deer and rabbit tend to leave papaver rhoeas alone.
