Iceland Poppies (Papaver Nudicaule) 



While these are hardy perennials, they flower the first year from seed, 

 blooming almost as quickly as the annual sorts. They are of graceful 

 neat habit, with bright green fern-like foliage, formed in tufts, from which 

 issues slender stalks about 15 inches high, bearing their brilliant flowers 

 in endless profusion; most useful for cutting, for which purpose pick 

 when in bud, and, if the seed pods are picked off, continue in flower the 

 entire season. They remain evergreen throughout the winter, coming 

 into bloom early the following spring.
