Ornamental Kale & Cabbage

Iceland Poppy

These dainty poppies from the island of Iceland are great cold hardy annuals. The flowers are large & resemble crepe paper. The plants live & bloom during the cool winter (November through March). Each flower lasts one day. Iceland Poppies look best when massed.
