For Splashes of Color in Late Spring

regular prices. 
Clusters of the large, cup-shaped blooms of the 
Oriental Poppy scattered throughout the border will 
add brightness to your garden during June and early 
July. They are of easy culture and like a rich deep 
sandy loam. Excessive moisture should be avoided. 
Pick off all seed-pods before they ripen and break open. 
During the summer Poppies have a resting period and 
all leaves disappear. They start a new growth of leaves 
in the fall.
