softest of pink to deep red and white. They are easily grown and once establis shed will live 
for many years. The best time to plant them ts Se -ptember and October. Poppies should be 
planted deeper than the general run of perennials. Set the crowns approximately 2 inches

branches, or other mé aterial of similar nature. This mulch should not be applied until Te 
ground is frozen, possibly November till December, depending on the locality. The plants
