Poppy 'Danish Flag'
In gardens of Elizabethan times, opium poppies were found in a rich assortment of colors and forms; many of great beauty, such as this single variety with scarlet petals fringed at the tips. The overlong name given then, "John Silver-pin, fair without and foul within," refers to its unpleasant aroma when smelled up close. Variety 'Danebrog' was described in an 1886 catalog as "brilliant scarlet, each of the four petals being stamped with an ivory white spot, forming a white cross…resembling the Danish and Swiss national banners." Self-sows. Cannot ship to WV and Canada.
