poppy - canadian flag

Enormous flowers measure six inches across. Each one is intricately crinkled and feathered or frilled, of unbelievably vivid scarlet, and at the center of each is a large, snow-white cross. Breathtaking in mass plantings! They self sow fairly reliably without ever becoming weedy. Gather the dried seed heads in late summer for decorative dried flower arrangements. Deer resistant variety. Packet includes 100 seeds.
