Red corn poppies. Images of Van Gogh's famous painting "Field of Poppies" or Monet's "Poppy Field in Argenteuil" instantly come to mind. Flowers, especially bright red poppies, are the stuff of an artist's dreams. And gardeners', too! Our Red Corn Poppy flower seeds (also known as Papaver Rhoeas) can provide you with your own poppy field or can complement other flower choices in your garden.

Red Corn Poppy seed can be planted in late autumn in colder climates or even in winter in warmer growing zones. Either way, you will be delighted with a beautiful show of brilliant color beginning in the spring months and lasting until warmer summer weather arrives. Expect these happy bloomers to self sow for new growth in succeeding seasons. Let our Red Corn Poppies inspire you to paint your own growing field of dreams
