Shirley Poppy Supreme






Product Description
Shirley Poppy ‘Supreme’
Papaver rhoeas
Flowering all summer, this mesmerizing mix of white, scarlet, soft pink and watermelon-orange look like an old fashioned silk kimono. Single and double flowers sway above clean, mint-green serrated foliage. Each fuzzy stem shoots up at least a half dozen buds, and as soon as one flower fades, another comes up. One of the most ephemeral and delicate flowers that we grow, Shirley poppies steal the heart of everyone who visits our garden. Pollinators love them too.
