Red Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas) - The drought tolerant Red Poppy is one of the most popular wildflowers in all the world, and it easily establishes from Poppy seeds. It is also known as Shirley Poppy, Flanders Poppy, American Legion Poppy, (the red poppy is the symbol of the American Legion, handed out for Memorial Day), and in England, Corn Poppy. This wildflower is native to most of all Europe and North Africa. Growing Poppies from seed is such a rewarding experience. Red Poppies are favorites with xeriscape gardeners because they grow so successfully from wildflower seed, and they transform a dull boring landscape into an intense display of gorgeous red blooms. Since they are annuals, they grow quickly from flower seeds each spring and drop new Red Poppy wildflower seed in the fall.

How To Grow

Poppy seeds should be directly sown in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. They do not transplant well due to their long taproots, but can still be started indoors if you use deep starter pots. For easier distribution, mix these tiny seeds with sand and surface sow atop a prepared seed bed. Use a board or your hands to press down the soil as a whole, but do not cover with further soil. Keep the seeds moist until germination, and then continue to water frequently after seedlings have appeared. Once they have reached 6" tall, watering can be reduced.

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.
