 A beautiful Poppy Seed variety, the somniferum "Danish Flag" is characterized by its bold color pattern.
Vibrant red with a bright white cross through the center, this striking flower resembles the national flag of Denmark, giving this poppy somniferum seed variety its name.
Intensely rich red petals. The petals are frilly and feathered adding greater appeal, and its center has a pure white cross.
The Danish Flag poppy has a unique "feathered" petal on a 5" wide bloom that's sure to make quite an impact when planted in groups.
After the Poppy Danish Flag flowers are spent and the petals fall, an attractive seed pod remains.
The seed pods can be preserved and used in dried arrangements or leave the seed pods in the garden for winter appeal.
Danish Flag Poppy plants are easy to grow, and they thrive in most garden settings.
The plants are known for self-sowing for additional seasons of beauty.
If seeding is not desired, Poppy flower care would include deadheading spent flowers.
