Ladybird

This prolific bloomer is one of the best! Ladybird Poppy (Papaver commutatum) yields spectacular, 3-inches wide, bright red blossoms with a distinct black spot on each petal. Plants grow 12- to 18-inches tall and are very attractive to bees and other beneficial insects. (Self-seeding annual)

Each packet contains approximately 1000 seeds.

Planting and Growing Tips:
Hardy plants thrive in rich, fast draining soil, ample water and plenty of sunshine. However, will tolerate poor soil conditions and some drought. Direct sow in early spring when the soil is still cool and a light frost is possible. May also be sown in the fall just before the ground freezes.

Remove the spent blossoms, or use as cuttings in flower arrangements, to extend the flowering season. Make sure to leave some faded blooms, especially later in the year, as plants are self-seeding.
