Papaver rhoeas is an annual whose individual flowers are short-lived, while successive buds extend the display.
Botanical characteristics
The familiar red field form is only part of the garden range. Named selections include other colours and fuller flower forms. Good drainage matters, since prolonged wet conditions can damage the roots.
Single poppies and fuller garden flowers
For resale, compare Shirley double flowered mixed with Shirley single flowered mixed. The Shirley Double group is documented for ruffled double flowers. Mother of Pearl is another named reference, not an interchangeable label for either Shirley mixture.
