Description
Papaver nudicaule Gartenzwerg Group lifts fragrant, papery flowers in cream, white, yellow, orange, or red above a compact gray-green mound from late spring through summer. Its low habit fits the front of a sunny border, a rock garden, or a patio pot, and the flowers can also be cut for arrangements.
Grow it in fertile, well-drained soil with full sun and steady moisture. Cut back spent stems after flowering, or allow some plants to self-seed where a continuing display is wanted. This plant is poisonous if eaten; keep it out of reach of pets and children.
