Papaver rhoeas or the Flanders Poppy is an annual flower with cup-shaped, four petalled, single blooms in bright red held aloft on single stems.
These delicate, papery flowers emerge like a butterfly from a hairy chrysalis and will fill any mixed border with plenty of colour and warmth.
Best when planted en-masse, they will keep flowering over a long period, generally around 20 weeks from sowing of seed.
