Poppy, ‘Drama Queen’

Poppy, ‘Drama Queen’
Papaver somniferum
‘Drama Queen’ has frilly, red petals with a purple-black center that lives up to its dramatic name! She really stands out in the garden with big 5” flowers with dramatically fringed petals of alternating ruby red and purple surrounding a pale chartreuse center that draw attention to themselves. Blooms late spring and early summer, leaving behind ornamental seed capsules on 3’ waving stems. Leave them, and you’ll have many seedlings sprouting up…technically an annual but sustains itself by reseeding. Full sun, Grows to 30″.
