πΊ Poppy 'Ladybird'
πΊ Botanical Name: Papaver commutatum 'Ladybird'
πΊ Type: Hardy Annual
Poppy 'Ladybird' is a striking and much-loved poppy variety, easily recognised by its bright scarlet-red petals adorned with bold black blotches, resembling the wings of a ladybird. This compact and eye-catching annual is perfect for wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, and pollinator patches, where it provides a burst of colour from early to mid-summer. Itβs also excellent for naturalistic plantings and will often self-seed gently in suitable conditions.
