- The varieties in 'National Mix' Poppy are hardy annuals offering summer interest, with ornamental seed pods extending the season. The unique, long-lived plants set delicate bright red and white flowers with crepe papery, tissue-like petals and a yellow boss of stamens.
- Borne singly on long, bristly stems, the showy, saucer-shaped flowers attract birds and bees to the garden and make lovely cut flowers if stems are singed before placing it in water.
- The varieties in 'National Mix' Poppy are Papaver rhoeas cultivars, a beloved old-fashioned variety also known as the common poppy, corn poppy, field poppy, or Flanders poppy.
- The plants have a clumping, spreading habit of pinnately lobed, cut or toothed, hairy leaves. 'National Mix' poppies are shown to best effect when grouped or massed in borders or beds or sown in drifts in non-native naturalized areas.
- Easily grown from seed and extremely low maintenance, 'National Mix' poppies prefer full sun and organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soil. They are intolerant of drought and overly wet, poorly drained soils.
It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
