April Shipping - Autumn Planting
Poppy Colibri Giallo Chiaro - It’s an elegant flower, with gentle buttery yellow tones — more romantic and subtle than bold — and it pairs beautifully with whites, blush pinks, soft apricots, and muted greens.
These are part of the Colibrì® series, an Italian-bred group of poppies especially valued for large, elegant flowers and excellent cut-flower quality, the tissue-paper-like 15cm large blooms are just stunning. A citrusy scent and abundant flowering habit stretching from early spring through mid summer make them a highly prized cutting garden addition. Technically considered a hardy perennial, poppies can survive even the coldest winters, but because they don’t do well in high heat, they are often grown as a hardy annual or biennial in warmer climates.
A tricky one to grow from seed
An improvement on standard Iceland Poppy varieties; however, it is noted that plants may have lower yields due to oversized flower heads
