Papaver commutatum - Ladybird
Striking Red Poppy with Black Spots
Our most popular Poppy! Unbeatable for putting the "pop" in your Spring garden with its brilliant, true red blooms and black spots, 'Ladybird' is positively dazzling when massed. I adore her tidy, well-behaved habit, it grows to only about 15" tall and 12-18" across with low, neat foliage bearing 15 or more 3" blooms at a time. Combine it with Nemophila menziesii "Baby Blue Eyes" or Limnanthes douglasii "Meadow Foam" for wondrous effect! Choice in a container, too - at least 5 gal. size. Give it rich soil and dead-head for looongest bloom. Poppy Fans - As cool season growers, Papavers should be planted only when extreme heat or extreme cold is not anticipated!

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
