Poppy Danish Flag Seeds

Danish Flag Poppy Seeds, (Papaver Somniferum Danish Flag)
20 seeds per package

Danish Flag Poppy is a very showy annual with intensely rich red petals. The petals are frilly and feathered adding greater appeal, and its center has a pure white cross.

Poppy Danish Flag is a stunning variety, and it is especially gorgeous when planted in mass groupings. After the Poppy Danish Flag flowers are spent and the petals fall, an attractive seed pod remains. The seed pods can be preserved and used in dried arrangements or leave the seed pods in the garden for winter appeal.

Danish Flag Poppy plants are easy to grow, and they thrive in most garden settings. The plants are known for self-sowing for additional seasons of beauty. If seeding is not desired, Poppy flower care would include deadheading spent flowers. The established plant needs to go through a winter before it blooms. But then BAM, what a showy presentation these flowers make.
