Handsome and chic, smoldering rich chocolate-maroon flowers gift Poppy lovers with another color hue. After petals drop, gather attractive urn-shaped seed-filled capsules for dried bouquets. If left, they naturally split and scatter their seeds for the following season.

The blossoms of Poppies are a favorite for butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Plant Papaver Royal Chocolate Distinction with larger perennials like Gysophila and Boltonia that will effectively cover the void when the Poppies take a break with the summer heat and enter dormancy.

Prefers loose soil with excellent drainage and can tolerate sandy or rocky soils. Avoid overly rich soils. Division is difficult due to a long taproot. Blooms profusely under cool growing conditions. May go dormant in hot summers. Shear spent flowers to prevent seed set. Cut back after flowering to extend individual plant life. Self seeds freely. When foliage declines, around end of July, pull by hand or cut down foliage, new leaves in late summer/fall should be left for winter.

4" pot.
