Icelandic poppy
Papaver nudicaule 'Champagne Bubbles Scarlet'
Overview
The Icelandic poppy (Papaver nudicaule 'Champagne Bubbles Scarlet') is a stunning short-lived perennial with beautiful cup-shaped deep red-pink flowers. Its foliage is composed of grey-green finely cut basal leaves. Blooming in late spring, each 2-3" wide flower is borne on thin stems above attractive evergreen foliage. Due to its hardiness, this variety is great for northern climates and offers an abundant display of blooms. It may need to be re-seeded each year as it is slightly short lived. Its upright, spreading habit is perfect for flower beds and rock gardens. With its vibrant color and ease of growing, it is an ideal and must have addition to any garden!
