    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
