About This

• Mother of Pearl' Poppy is a hardy annual offering summer interest, with ornamental seed pods extending the season of interest. The long-lived plants set delicate flowers with a black boss of stamens and crepe papery, tissue-like petals in misty shades of grey, lilac, mauve, pink, soft orange, and white, some picotee, some flecked.
• Borne singly on long, bristly stems, the showy, saucer-shaped flowers attract birds and bees to the garden and make lovely cut flowers if stems are singed before placing it in water.
• Mother of Pearl' Poppy is a Papaver rhoeas cultivar, a beloved old-fashioned variety also known as the common poppy, corn poppy, field poppy, or Flanders poppy.
• Mother of Pearl' poppies are shown to best effect when grouped or massed in borders or beds or sown in drifts in non-native naturalized areas.
• Easily grown from seed and extremely low maintenance, 'Mother of Pearl' poppies prefer full sun and organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soil. They are intolerant of drought and overly wet, poorly drained soils.
