Common Poppy
Papaver rhoeas
The common poppy brings an irreplaceable wildness to borders — its tissue-thin scarlet petals trembling on wiry stems create a gauze of colour that no cultivated plant can quite replicate. Self-seeding freely, it threads itself between other plants with an artless grace that looks entirely unplanned.
