Papaver nudicaule, better known as the Icelandic Poppy, is like a ray of sunshine to your summer border! Each wide, saucer-shaped bloom opens to reveal crushed-silk petals and a bright yellow boss of stamens at the centre. These cheery short-lived perennials are generally grown as annuals, for sprinkling through sunny borders, rockeries and wildlife gardens. They associate beautifully with swaying grasses and bring a bright splash of colour to the garden. Grow Poppy Icelandic Mixed in bold swathes for maximum impact.
