Annuals 
Miscellaneous Poppies 
Annual Poppies 
Poppies are charming subjects in the garden because of their 
brilliantly colored flowers and the freedom in which they are 
produced. They are easy to grow in ordinary soil exposed to 
the sun; seed should be sown where intended to flower as early 
in the spring as the soil can be worked. They bloom quickly; 
make successional sowings for a continuous display.
