Poppy Papaver Somniferum Danebrog seed red and white poppy flowers

Poppy - Papaver somniferum - Danebrog. Common names: Danish flag, Queens poppy. Resembling the Danish and Swiss national banners, these flowers have got to be one of the most unique flowers that will make your eyes pop and jaw drop. The petals are brilliant white with super bright true scarlet red fringe making up most of the petals. If that isn’t bright enough, it has a lime green center! Temperature is a big factor when it comes to the success of these wildly gorgeous flowers. They are self sowers but if you are planting them, be mindful not to plant if there are extreme hot or cold temperatures on the horizon. They grow best in rich moist soil that is well drained and can be used as an annual or perennial. They are said to be essential in cottage gardens. The pods are commonly dried and used in decorations. They will attract all types of bees. The bees love them so much you will see them fighting over the pollen! *fun fact... true poppies come in every color but blue.
