Poppy, Supreme

Try not to smile when gazing upon this colorful queen of the garden! This Fleuroselect winner truly reigns supreme. Believed to be the largest of its species, these can be nearly three times as large as shirley-type poppies. Large blooms with picotee edging in magenta-to-cherry tones and orange hues draw attention in beds and borders, especially from butterflies and bees!
