Photo of Papaver Danish Flag (Poppy)

Papaver somniferum Danish Flag - Showy annual with showy huge flowers with intensely rich red petals. The petals are frilly and feathered adding greater appeal, and its scarlet-fringed petals with a pure white cross. Poppy Danish Flag is a stunning variety, and it is especially gorgeous when planted in mass groupings. After the Poppy Danish Flag flowers are spent and the petals fall, an attractive seedpod remains. The seedpods can be preserved and used in dried arrangements or leave the seed pods in the garden for winter appeal. The plants are known for self-sowing for additional seasons of beauty. If seeding is not desired, Poppy flower care would include deadheading spent flowers. Size: 2-3' H x 10" W. Height: 24 - 36 inches.  Family : Papaveraceae
