Love these poppies. Sowed directly in long thin flower bed and it quickly filled in
Flowers are short-lived and delicate, more on the white to light pink side, but really pretty and constantly renewing themselves with freah blooms. As summer stretched on I deadhead to keep tidy, and eventually pulled when they got scraggly. I left some in planters and they are still going strong in August. Zone 6-7

These little numbers are so soft and feminine. The colors are beautiful. Kind remind me of fancy anemones. I winter sowed them in a milk jug. They had great germination. I ended up with a ton of them.
