Burpee's Annual Poppies 
Poppies are charming subjects in the garden because of their brilliantly colored 
flowers and the freedom with 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.
