Iceland Poppy (Papaver Nudicaule) - Iceland Poppy wildflowers are a wonderful source of exceptionally beautiful colors. The Poppy flowers nearly glisten in the sun, and their petals look like crinkled silk. Easy-to-grow from Iceland Poppy seeds, these blooms come in an array of colors. Measuring 4 - 5 inches across, these single Poppy blooms open in shades of white, yellow, orange, pink, rose, and red as well as bi-colors!

Iceland Poppies are used extensively in the southeast by sowing the wildflower seeds in the fall to create a lavish spring display, but the plants are unable to live through the hot summer that follows.
