Corn Poppy

(Papaver rhoeas)

But pleasures are like poppies spread: You seize the flower, its bloom is shed...Robert Burns

Beloved and once familiar flower of cornfields or other distrubed ground.

It is now less common due to use of herbicdes in cereal crops, this bright scarlet annual is unmistakeable

You can buy this species as a packet or you can find it in our Cornfield Annual and our Annual & Biennial Mix.
