Notes

'Scarlet Peony Poppy' (Papaver somniferum 'Scarlet Peony Poppy') is an annual for borders 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 36 inches tall, so it works well in the middle of a border. The plant is drought tolerant, which makes it a good pick for dry spots and pots. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Fountain grass, Summer savory, and Evelyn rose.
