Orange Beauties






This is a beautiful perennial poppy that is very drought resistant. It grows wild in the fields of Alpine, Utah planted there by pioneers hundreds of years ago. They do best in full sun but also do well in partial shade (Partial shade is where I grow mine they get about 6 hours of morning sun they do tend to get tall and leggy though). They will Grow in almost any soil (I grow them in clay soil here no matter how hard I try to remedy it). The flowers grow on about 1-2 foot stems (depending on amount of shade) on bush like plants that are about 2 feet in diameter when fully grown takes 1 season to become full grown (blooming size). They grow in zones 3-9. Check it out here Sweetoldstuff.etsy.com
