POPPY - Czech White                                                                
Poppies have been cultivated for over 3000 years.  Homer referred to them in his writings, and ancient Greeks and Romans used the seeds in food and medicine.  The plants originated in Turkey, Holland, and this strain in particular comes from the Czech Republic.  Czech White grows to approximately 2-2.5' tall, and produces single blossoms brilliant white with mauve.    An interesting note - this variety does not have seed pods that open on their own (much like most other poppies), which reduces their self-sowing.

POPPY - Pink                                                      
This is the oldest type of poppy in cultivation and was known by the Greeks and Egyptians who used it as a painkiller and sleep inducer.  Really a tender perennial, poppies generally behave as self-seeding annuals around here.  Grey-green foliage with large flowers in a range of colours from purple, pink, and red to white.  Blooms are a mix of singles and doubles.
