Burpee’s Hardy Poppies 
The colorful beauty of perennial poppies assures them a place in every garden. They are 
of easy culture, growing to perfection in fairly rich, slightly moist but well-drained soil, 
and in full sun. The seed is best sown where the plants are to bloom.

summer and more or less throughout the season. Will flower the first year if seed is sown 
early. Often grown as an annual. 15 to 18 in. tall, except where noted otherwise.
