Notes

'Frosted Salmon Poppy' poppy (Papaver somniferum 'Frosted Salmon Poppy') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun. It grows 24 to 48 inches tall. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the plant is drought tolerant once settled in.

Pairs well with May Night salvia, Blue grama, and Texas bluebonnet.
