Poppy 'Ladybird', Ladybug Poppy, 'Ladybird' Poppy
Noted for its large, brilliant crimson flowers, Papaver commutatum ‘Ladybird’ (Poppy) is a very popular annual flower, featuring showy, bowl-shaped, vibrant red flowers, 3 in. wide (8 cm), with a large black spot at the base of each petal. A prolific bloomer, each poppy may bear up two dozen or more flowers at a time. Borne on erect, long hairy stems, they rise atop the low, neat foliage of oval, regularly lobed leaves. Blooming from late spring to early summer, the flowers give way to ornamental seedpods, thereby extending the season of interest of this plant to fall and winter. Besides, they become seed treats for birds in the dull winter landscape. An exceptional annual that will add a bright color splash in your landscape without requesting any maintenance!
