Red Poppy – American Legion
Price range: $2.50 through $36.00
The Red Poppy, also known as the Red Corn Poppy or Flanders Poppy, is a striking annual with vibrant scarlet blooms. Native to southern Europe, this historic flower has long been associated with agriculture and rural landscapes. Its name, “Flanders Poppy,” honors the poppies that famously grew across the battlefields of Flanders after World War I, and today it is widely recognized as a symbol of remembrance for those who lost their lives in conflicts throughout the 20th century.
Red Poppies are perfect for sunny gardens and can be enjoyed as part of borders, wildflower meadows, or pollinator plantings. When used as cut flowers, their stems can wilt quickly, so it is recommended to dip the ends in boiling water or briefly singe them with a match to extend vase life. With their vivid color and rich history, American Legion Poppies bring both beauty and meaning to any garden.
