SHIRLEY POPPIES, DOUBLE MIXTURE (PAPAVER RHOEAS) Poppy is a hardy, but short-lived perennial, grown as a biennial in Coastal gardens. It includes both single and double blossoms. Color pink, red, white and peach. Either way, they self sow readily, so will last for years at a time. The flower stalks grow to around 2 to 3 feet tall nodding flowers will shine in your garden and are among the longest-lasting poppies as cut flowers. They are highly attractive to honeybees and bumblebees. Perennial Difficulty Easy Season & Zone Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Zone: 1-10 *Reminder, poppies good germination under 12°C (55°F) Sow seeds directly into a finely textured, well-drained garden bed in full sun as early in spring as the ground can be worked.

In mild winter climates, Poppies can also be sown in late fall to overwinter for spring bloom.

A scenery that reminds of Monet's Poppy Field in Argenteuil, where colorful blobs of paint start from a sprinkling of poppies. This casual and impressionistic planting combination is fairly easy to re-create and requires little maintenance. Blooming from late spring to mid-summer, this naturalistic ensemble combines a few wildflowers and herbaceous perennials such as Flanders Poppy (Papaver rhoeas), Sage (Salvia nemorosa), Evening Primrose (Oenothera speciosa) and Sweet William Catchfly (Silene armeria).

Framed dimensions: 38"h x 32"w x 2"d Signed bottom left: Sean Wallis This vibrant painting shows a field of red poppies in the foreground with trees and a flowering bush beyond. Divided by a white picket fence, behind the field you can see two houses. As an Impressionist, Sean pays close attention to the relationship of light and color, capturing its fleeting moments with the texture of oil paint and a broad, colorful palette. His work with light, hue, and atmosphere manifest through a skillful combination of colors that vibrates and excites the eye, resulting in an uncanny illusion of depth. His subjects speak of an era that is fading away: from the blooming flowers of botanical gardens, to the California missions, to dilapidated barns.
GURNARD has been yarnbombed with knitted poppies.
