The Papaver nudicaule varieties in the 'Wonderland Mix', a multicolored growing mix of dwarf Iceland poppies, are short-lived perennials offering mid-spring through summer interest. The plants produce low tufts of light green leaves and flowers in shades of red, crimson, melon, yellow, and white in a long blooming season. Borne singly on hairy 18-inch stems, the large, satiny, bowl-shaped blooms emit a light fragrance, attract butterflies, and make lovely cut bouquets.
Herbaceous plants, the varieties in the Papaver 'Wonderland Mix' Poppy have an upright, clumping habit and a fast growth rate. The plants self-seed, returning year after year. Shown to best effect when massed or grouped in mixed beds, borders, and containers. They make especially colorful edging along sunny walkways.
Easy care, Iceland poppies grow best in sunny locations with moderate, well-draining soil. They tolerate acidic soil and resist deer and rabbits.
