Very popular, award-winning Papaver nudicaule ‘Garden Gnome’ (Iceland Poppy) is a compact biennial or short-lived perennial boasting attractive, fragrant, bowl-shaped flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), from late spring to late summer. Borne atop sturdy, upright, hairy stems, the profuse blooms, in shades of orange, scarlet, yellow, and white, rise above a small, basal rosette of mossy green, pinnately lobed leaves. Hardy and fast-growing, the sparkling blossoms are extremely attractive to honeybees and bumblebees. They are simply stunning en masse or drifting through cottage or wild gardens. Iceland poppies are amongst the best poppies for cutting, as they last for several days in the vase.
