Accent 1952 |
Sunny Disposition. One of the first ones I grew. There are starts of this one around the yard, and at the Battleground place. Sunny Disposition is fragrant. It blooms despite neglect. It sometimes falls over in the rain.
Accent. Identified via HIPS website. Accent is reliable, rugged, takes neglect, and does not fall over in the rain.
Bumblebee Deelite. Much smaller. These have also multiplied and grow nicely. I planted them in the fence rows at the Battleground place. None of those bloomed this year. It's a cute variety.
Redondo. Doesn't look anything like the web photo. Red type colors do not come true in photos and the internet. This is also a smaller variety. It was an early bloomer.
Immortality. As of last year, considered a heritage variety. Lush white flower. I'm glad it recovered.
Gay Parasol. Nice with a light fragrance. Will either keep here or add to heritage varieties at Battleground.
Pink Bubbles. A border variety. The leaves were not vigorous but the flowers are nice. Also a heritage variety that I might move to the Battleground place, but also like here.
Edith Wolford. Not a heritage variety yet. This clump recovered very well with the treatment above. Many flower spikes and each with multiple flowers. Very nice.
Red Oriental Poppy. I grew these from seeds in about 2002. They needed a year or two to bloom. I've moved them once since establishment. Lush and bright. Nice. Last winter I read about growing Papaver somniferum, and found seeds at Portland Nursery. Then I read about potential legal problems with growing that species. So I didn't grow those. Papaver orientalis is just as lush, and no legal issues.
