(Sundew Poppy, Tufted Poppy)
Sundew poppy is a California native annual that is well-adapted to garden and container use. Scented lemon-yellow cup-shaped flowers rise above delicate gray-green finely dissected foliage in summer.
Sundew poppy likes sun and poor, well-drained soil and withstands very dry conditions. Providing strategic watering in summer will prolong flowering but be aware that excessive moisture leads to fungal problems and numerous types of rot. If well-sited it will reseed and may return year after year.

(California Poppy, Orange King California Poppy)
California poppy is a variable species found in the grasslands of the western and southwestern United States. An annual or long-lived perennial, 'Orange King' is slightly taller growing and has strongly orange flowers above lacy blue-green or gray foliage from spring throughout fall in the hottest climates. Plants will continuously bloom if pinched back, otherwise will produce interesting seedheads that will attract hungry songbirds.
California poppy prefers full sun and average, well drained...

(Meconopsis)
Renowned for its blue poppies, which make an astonishing display in cool, moist gardens, Meconopsis includes more than 40 species of herbaceous perennials, all but one of them from the Himalayas and western China. The exception is the Welsh poppy, Meconopsis cambrica which inhabits western Europe. The Asian natives typically produce large four-petaled poppy-like flowers at the tips and in the axils of tall leafy stems, although some bear their flowers on leafless scapes. The blooms...

(Himalayan Blue Poppy)
One of the renowned blue poppies, which make an astonishing display in cool, moist gardens, Meconopsis betonicifolia is native to the eastern Himalyas. In early summer large, nodding to horizontal, poppy-like flowers appear at the tips and in the axils of leafy stems that may reach head-high. Although they may be a luminous clear sky-blue, in some forms they are of rosy hue. A central boss of yellow-anthered stamens ornaments the four-petaled flowers. Oblong seed capsules follow the blooms....

(Alpine Poppy)
Named for their native haunts in the European mountains, Alpine poppies are small, short-lived perennials with brightly colored, delicate flowers held above rosettes of ferny gray-green foliage. Borne from late spring into summer, the saucer-shaped blossoms may be white, yellow, orange, red, or any of the hues in between. They have a crepe-paper-like texture. The deeply lobed leaves are sparsely hairy.
A classic rock garden plant, alpine poppies require rapidly draining soil to thrive. They grow...

(Atlas Poppy, Moroccan Poppy)
The delicate, tangerine orange poppies of Atlas poppy offer airy elegance to spring and summer perennial gardens. An herbaceous perennial from Morocco and the Atlas Mountains, it is surprisingly heat and drought tolerant despite its slight, ephemeral looks. Where native, it grows in open, upland meadows.
The hairy, incised leaves of this small poppy are gray green and form rosettes in spring. Long, thin, upright stems appear in late spring to early summer topped with single, rounded buds. These...

(Japanese Poppy)
Japanese poppy is similar to the alpine poppy, although it is native to extreme eastern Siberian Russia and Japan. It is a short-lived perennial with small, soft yellow or yellow-green saucer-shaped flowers held above tufted gray-green foliage.
A delightful rock garden plant, Papaver miyabeanum requires good drainage and deep, fertile soil to thrive. Sandy loams are ideal and overwatering will lead to crown rot. Use it as an alpine rockery plant, including in alpine troughs or as a low...

(Iceland Poppy)
The low, large-flowered, delightfully delicate poppies that go under this name are favorites for fall planting and winter bloom in frost-free regions, adding vivid color to the year’s shortest days. Extremely hardy short-lived perennials native to subarctic regions, they are adapted for fast growth and flowering during short growing seasons. This adaptation makes them ideal for gardens in high mountain regions or the far north, where they are planted in spring and bloom in summer. Many seed-grown...
