There are many different varieties of poppies - annuals, perennials, and biennial - some are single flowered, some double and they come in a wide variety of colors and textures.
ORIENTAL & PEONY FLOWERED POPPIES
These poppies are hardy perennials growing 2 to 3 feet in height
with large deeply cut leaves and large cup-shaped flowers of many colors
in the spring. Oriental poppies prefer ordinary well-cultivated garden
soil. Planting is usually done in spring, or in summer for bloom
the following spring. Once established, the flowers do not like being
disturbed, so choose a spot where your poppies are likely to remain for
several years.
