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 any average well-drained garden soil and in 
full sun. The seed is best sown where the plants are to bloom, especially Orientale type.

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.
