Nudicaule—celand Poppies 

Iceland Poppies are charming in the border or rock garden, and furnish ideal cut 
flowers when picked while in bud. The plants form neat, compact tufts of bright 
green foliage, from which arise graceful, wiry stems bearing their flowers in brilliant 
colors in early summer and more or less throughout the season. Will flower the first 
year if sown early. Often grown as an annual. 15 to 18 in. tall, except where noted.

iature poppies, invaluable for edgings or

about 6 in. long above the grayish green
