Description
This beautiful poppy is a striking coral red with white highlights throughout or just edging the petals. It's centre ovary is a creamy light green, highlighted with soft pink fuzzy lines with anthers decorated in a lime to soft moss green pollen which extend on red filaments. "Poppy Angels Choir" are glorious poppies of exquisite beauty. This wonderful mixture of double flowered poppies, with silky textured blooms that dance on graceful nodding stems, in soft colours from whites to apricot-pinks, lilac-blues, creams and oranges also bi-colours and some interesting picotee types, is the result of almost ten years work. Now the magic of breeders art has transformed the poppy to give you magical garden flowers that leave you spellbound and breathless with their irresistible charm. They are easy to grow in almost any site, looking magnificent in the border, fantastic in large containers and will come up year after year in the garden, if seedlings are left to grow. When entered in the Fleuroselect trials these poppies erned the Fleuroselect Quality Mark. Flowers summer. Height: 60-75cm (24-30in).
Papaver rhoeas (common names include corn poppy, corn rose, field poppy, Flanders poppy, red poppy, red weed, coquelicot, and, due to its odour, which is said to cause them, as headache and headwark) is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family, Papaveraceae. This poppy, a native of Europe, is notable as an agricultural weed (hence the "corn" and "field") and as a symbol of fallen soldiers.
P. rhoeas sometimes is so abundant in agricultural fields that it may be mistaken for a crop. The only species of Papaveraceae grown as a field crop on a large scale is Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy.
