Notes
'Falling In Love Poppy' common poppy (Papaver rhoas 'Falling In Love Poppy') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plants reach 18 to 30 inches tall.
Pairs well with Cornflower, Caradonna sage, and Purple Sensation ornamental onion.
