| The Great Scarlett Poppy is a majestic garden presence, both for its bright red blooms up to 7 inches across and for its stately 4- to 5-foot plants, which crown the back of the border or center of the bed with rich color in mid to late spring. Each bloom has a wide, deep black center that sets off the blazing red petals beautifully, adding a dramatic accent to garden or vase. Superb combined with white blooms, this enormous Poppy is the star of any planting and is eye-catching in the vase. Similar in form and look to a giant Oriental Poppy, it is hardy in cool areas and can be grown as an annual elsewhere. This Poppy does best in areas where summers are not humid and the soil is well-drained. Best if sown direct. Pkt is 100 seeds. |
