Naturally Reliable and Adaptable! Despite their delicate appearance, poppies are extremely hardy—to a temperature of -30°F. They do well in almost any soil and tolerate dry spells. While they love the sun, they are not averse to light shade, so they are a great addition to borders and beds all around your property.

Poppies are not bothered by most pests and are quite deer resistant. Best of all, poppies are extremely long-lived—plant them this year and you will enjoy their fluttery blooms for many seasons to come!

Summer Colour Starts with Poppies!

For vivid, eye-popping colour, nothing rivals the flamboyant poppy. In late spring and early summer, when many bulbs have faded and summer perennials have yet to appear, the large 4-6" flowers of the poppy create bright spots of color framed by attractive foliage. A fantastic show!

Breck's^® horticulturists have brought together five of the most outstanding Hybrid Oriental Poppies available for this spectacular collection. Each is a vibrant perennial gem. All are guaranteed to grow in your garden!

This collection includes one each of the following varieties:

• Perry White: A garden standout with snow-white, 4-6" blooms that have rippled petals, dark burgundy centres and light green, toothed leaves.
• Orange Glow: Add some pizzazz to your borders with these decidedly wavy, luminous orange blooms featuring black hearts and fern like leaves.
• Helen Elizabeth: Pure salmon-pink flowers with blush blotches dance above finely divided, coarse leaves and stiff, fuzzy stems.
• Beauty of Livermere: Spectacular, scarlet flowers with rippled petals and purple stamens measure 4-6" across and, under ideal circumstances, can reach 8"!
• Patty's Plum: This exquisite poppy exhibits double rows of lightly ruffled petals in a deep, velvety purple.
