Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas Bridal Silk) - Everyone loves poppies, and with the sheer white of our Bridal Silk Poppy you can see why. Perfectly shaped blooms make them an exquisite choice for borders, containers, or flower beds. Bridal Silk poppies grow in best in full sun to partial shade reaching up to 24 inches in height. They will grow as annual plants all across the country in USDA zones 3 - 10.
These plants prefer evenly moist soil, but can tolerate drought. About an inch of water per week keeps them growing at their finest. Honeybees love these white poppies and crowd around the flowers as they take aim at the pollen. Add to vegetable plots, meadows, and borders, where their early flowering fills gaps in perennial bloom times with luminous flowers.
