Notes
'Ladybird' poppy (Papaver commutatum 'Ladybird') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, loamy soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and it grows 12 to 24 inches tall. Birds visit the plant.
Pairs well with Ballerina zinnia, Blue grama, Maiden pink, and Paul Scherer tulip.
