These large, delicate blooms are native to Subpolar regions all around the globe. Thriving in cool conditions, Icelandic Poppies will not take kindly to excessive heat. In warmer regions, plant as early as possible and expect annual growth, but in cooler regions, Icelandic Poppies will often thrive for several years as perennials.

  • • Cool region perennial (annual in warmer climates) with large, distinctive blooms
  • • Easy to grow pollinator attractor with multi-colored Spring blooms
  • • Poppy seeds require a cool period of 2-4 weeks to break dormancy, and some gardeners choose to cold stratify their seeds.
