Big Blooms on Compact Plants!
Exquisite dark markings contrast beautifully with the soft pink petals!
This Poppy is perfectly named, for its huge, softly colored blooms will dance and bob atop low-growing stems in your sunny garden! More compact than most other Poppies, this magnificent plant saves all its energy for turning out massive, exquisitely beautiful blooms in late spring and early summer! Bone-hardy right through northern Minnesota (as well as the worst winter weather my native Iowa has to offer!), Little Dancing Girl is a fine front-of-the-border plant for spectacular color. Treat yourself to a large planting in front of taller purple Poppy Patty's Plum. Just 20 inches high, this plant offers plenty of blooms over a good season. And what blooms they are! Single-flowered, a full 5 inches across, and suffused with soft pink and ashy-black, these blossoms deserve a place of honor in your finest indoor arrangements as well as a big showing in the garden. They arise about the same time as Roses, to which they are a fine companion! Plant Little Dancing Girl in loamy, well-enriched soil. Once established, this plant thrives on neglect. Not suitable for extremely humid climates, it flourishes in northern and temperate regions. Space plants about a foot to 15 inches apart for a swaying sea of soft color! Zones 3-7.
