Horned Poppy
From LoveToKnow Garden
Horned Poppy (Glaucium) - Plants of the Poppy family, usually biennials. G. luteum is quite hardy and has handsome silver foliage. The leaves are deeply cut, and, planted close, are effective either in masses or lines. To ensure strong plants for winter borders or beds, seed should be sown about May, as the plant is a biennial. When in bloom it makes a striking border plant, the flowers being large and orange-red. G. Fischeri is a handsome plant; its snow-white woolly foliage is very telling, and its blossom is of an unusual flame color. G. corniculatum is similar, but not so handsome. Both require the same treatment as G. luteum.
