Iceland Poppies 
Iceland Poppies 
While these are hardy perennials, they flower the first 
year from seed if sown fairly early. The plants are of 
graceful compact habit with fern-like foliage, formed in 
tufts, from which issue slender stalks about 15 inches high, 
bearing their brilliant flowers in endless profusion. Most 
useful for cutting, for which purpose pick when in bud. If 
the seed pods are picked off they will continue in bloom the 
entire season.
