Don't overlook the Moroccan - a pretty, perennial poppy
Breadseed poppies are a popular choice, and there is no shortage of fabulous colors to choose from.
Sometimes lost in this colorful collage is a wonderful perennial poppy commonly called Moroccan poppy.
Flowers appear on 30-inch-tall, wiry stems, seeming to float above rosettes of bluish-green foliage.
Use Moroccan poppies to augment other spring-blooming perennials or to add color to a dry garden comprised of succulents and cacti.
The soft orange hues blend well with other pastels and yet its height can make it a standout among shorter annuals.
The tall stems make this poppy a wonderful cut flower and the petals have a unique crepe paper feel to them.
