Poppies

sorry you dont like them! I do!!

i agree homebird

I do like them (although it probably didn't sound that way) but I wish they didn't spread so aggressively. I have a big Endless Summer hydrangea planted down a ways from there and they are very tough to pull out when they grow up into it. I actually love poppies, do any of you know of any less aggressive varieties?

Sorry I don't know, I have one planted where it is isn't supposed to be, I dug it up once and back it has come!
How about the Himalayan blue poppy?

That is a pretty one but I'm not sure if I have enough shade for it. I'd like to find some alpine poppies but the only ones I can usually find are the iceland poppies.

We have welsh ones here, they are yellow and much smaller than the red in your photo, they seed themselves all over the garden.

The nursery I used to work at had a couple poppy varieties but I never see them anywhere else. Are they easier to find there?

Quite a lot of poppies here, I currently have masses of seeds growing from poppy heads that were given to me.
A lot of ornamental poppies, also Icelandic. And I think there is one called garden gnome? Which has different coloured flowers, I have a feeling mine only lasted a year though.

They haven't come back yet? Sometimes I think I have lost perennials and then they decide to pop up again the next year so maybe you will have that luck too :)

not the garden gnome one, no :-(

other poppies are coming up, a lot of the welsh ones with buds.
