Single Shirley Poppies 



All-Double Poppy, Sweet Briar 
Lovely Annual Poppies—?Papaver ® 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring as possible where they are to grow 
as they do not stand transplanting. Sow very thinly and barely cover from view. Press 
down the surface and water. 
Thin out the Shirley Poppies to stand 3 to 4 inches apart 
to encourage well-branched free-flowering plants.
