Notes

'Swan's Down Poppy' poppy (Papaver somniferum 'Swan's Down Poppy') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full sun. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall, so it works well toward the middle or back of a bed. It handles dry spells well once it settles in. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers, which makes it a good choice for a garden that supports pollinators.

Pairs well with Clary sage, Blazing star, and Summer savory.
