Papaver Somniferum Annual Flowers. Breadseed poppy. If you love poppies, this one's a heart-stopper! Bright red, fringed petals with a pure white cross, make a spectacular display. This is the brightest, prettiest shade of Red that I have ever seen! Just Breathtaking! Very Easy! Give rich soil, average water and full sun. Remove spent flowers.

Also known as Florist Poppy, Breadseed poppies produce incredibly showy, large single poppies. The flowers are followed by highly ornamental seed pods that are prized for floral arrangements. The pods are chock-full of tiny seeds that are perfect for breadmaking and baking. Very easy to grow 2-3 foot plants. The classic poppy that will make a spectacular display in any garden.

Most poppies are very easy to grow. They are a favorite of gardeners in every state for rock gardens, flower beds, containers, and most any place that you want color. Since poppies are self-sowing, if you allow them to go to seed you may only need to plant them once. Sow in Fall or early Spring.
