Probably the world’s most popular wildflower, Red Poppy is also called Corn Poppy, American Legion Poppy, and Flanders Poppy. A Reverend Wilks in Shirley, England, developed what is known today as “Shirley Poppies” from selecting specimens of this species from the wild. His work resulted in this broad mix of colors and flower forms. Wildflower gardeners will love this mixture of red, white and pink blooms. Keep an eye out for single and double forms, as well as picotees!
