Description
Poppy - Papaver Oriental - May Queen bears double flowers that are a vibrant orange-red color, that sit atop hairy, stiff stems & coarse, divided leaves. It has a blooming season ranging from late Spring to Summer, grows best in full sun with well-draining soil, & will grow between 1.5 - 3 feet tall. These plants will do fine with a little less than full sunlight however, they may not flower as heavily, or their foliage won't be as bright. These showy flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Bees while being resistant to Deer & Rabbits. These do well in beds & borders in the garden. Another great characteristic about this plant is that it is low maintenance.

All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination & not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening & you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right! SEED GERMINATION TIP ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME. DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS in A BARREL. Good Luck & Happy Planting Poppy - Papaver Oriental May Queen Seed
