*Winter Color*
Papaver nudicaule, commonly known as the Arctic poppy, is native to mountainous regions in Asia, extending into the Arctic. Each plant develops a clump of pinnately lobed basal leaves from which slender, leafless flower stems grow to a height of 1 to 2 feet. The solitary, saucer-shaped flowers have crinkled petals and emit a mild fragrance, blooming from spring to early summer. Horticultural varieties display flowers in various colors, including white, yellow, orange, salmon, rose, and pink.
Although it is a short-lived perennial, the arctic poppy is typically grown in gardens as a biennial or annual. It thrives in organically rich, moderately fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soils and prefers full sun. The plants generally grow well in average garden soils as long as there is good drainage. In hot summer climates, they appreciate some light afternoon shade. These plants flourish in areas with cool summer temperatures, both day and night, but they tend to struggle in hot and humid conditions.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
