Notes
'Canada' common poppy (Papaver rhoeas 'Canada') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and low maintenance gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in spring and again in summer. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Blue Diamond tulip, Maiden pink, and Foxtail barley.
