200 Iceland Poppy Seeds - Champagne Bubbles Mix, Perennial Blooms

Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule) 'Champagne Bubbles' is a delightful mix that brings a soft, romantic palette of pastel blooms to the garden. This perennial variety is known for its large, crinkled petals in shades of white, cream, yellow, orange, and pink, creating a champagne-like effervescence in borders and containers. The flowers rise on slender stems above a basal rosette of finely cut, fern-like foliage, adding texture and movement to the landscape.

These poppies are perfect for cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and meadow plantings. Their early summer blooms attract pollinators and provide a long-lasting display when planted in well-drained soil. With their delicate appearance and easy-going nature, Iceland Poppies are a favorite among gardeners seeking low-maintenance color.

Planting & Care

Sow Iceland Poppy seeds directly in the garden in early spring or fall. Prepare a seedbed with well-drained soil and scatter seeds thinly on the surface, pressing them gently into the soil; do not cover deeply as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-20 days at 60-70°F (15-21°C). Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to the recommended spacing.

For best growth, provide regular watering during dry spells and mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In hot climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial. Iceland Poppies are relatively pest-free and deer-resistant, making them a low-maintenance choice for borders and containers.
