Poppy – Papaver Commutatum – Lady Bird is a plant you want to add to your garden if you are looking for something different, bright crimson blooms with black markings in the center make this a bit of a statement in the garden. They have large, bowl-shaped blooms that grab your eye. The flowers are about 3 inches wide and may bear up to two dozen or more flowers at a time! These poppies produce long and hairy stalks with their foliage consisting of soft, oval-shaped, green leaves with regular lobes. Ladybird will bloom from late spring to early summer and will self-seed around your garden. They grow best in full sun in slightly warmer temperatures with fertile, well-drained soils. They are also tolerant of frost, which is always a good thing. The blooms produce a nectar that is rich in pollen, so it will attract butterflies, bees, and birds to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. The birds love to eat the seed from the pods in Winter.They are great for cut flowers, beds, borders, and containers, while being easy to grow, long-lived, and drought tolerant.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
