Poppy - Single Red ECO

Papaver rhoeas

A classic summer variety with beautiful scarlet red flowers. The well-known “old garden flower” or “cottage flower” as it is often called in Swedish, is a very easy to grow and reliable variety. The gorgeous red flowers bloom from June to August and can be found in gardens all over the world.

The red corn poppy is also a well-known symbol for people who have fallen in wars, especially in England where the beautiful summer flower now symbolizes remembrance and hope for the future.

This variety is very nice to plant together with other summer flowers such as blue cornflower, cosmos, and sweet peas. Corn poppy is also a perfect attractor for the kitchen garden or other plantings since it is a summer flower that is incredibly popular among our pollinators.
