Light Swirls

I planted Iceland Poppies about 10 days ago because it is cool weather in Tucson, and these northern plants can usually handle our winter freezes. And, it's a birthday present for Miss Cecily because she loves Iceland Poppies in the garden...

Iceland poppy (Papaver nudicaule)

With their tall, leafless stems that dance in the breeze, Iceland poppies are graceful companions to many cool-season plants.

Iceland poppies grow 1 to 2 feet tall; flowers are cream, orange, pink, rose, salmon, yellow, or white. They need full sun and moderate to regular water.

 

In mild-winter climates, set out plants in fall or winter for months of cool-season color. Pick flowers freely to prolong the show.
