Corn Poppy

Poppies, the champions of low-maintenance gardening, bring effortless charm to yards, beds, and borders. These wild darlings relish minimal watering, adapt to any soil, and propagate themselves eagerly. Deadheading, though optional, extends their blooming delight. Sun and well-drained soil are their preferred spots, with established plants needing little water. During dry spells, a drink ensures their floral display remains vibrant.

Keep the Party Going

Deadheading spent flowers could keep the floral party going, but no pressure—it's optional!

Brief and Glorious History of the Poppy Flowers

Following WWI, poppies thrived in Flanders Fields thanks to lime-rich rubble. Common poppy seeds can lay dormant for decades and then show up when you least expect it, symbolizing remembrance.The opium poppy, a source of morphine, is featured on the Royal College of Anaesthetists coat of arms. Poppy seed snacks? Great on a bagel , but proceed with caution—they could lead to false drug test results... don't end up like Eliane on Seinfeld and miss that trip to Africa with J. Peterman!
