Airex Verbena, Poppy California Red Seed(20 per packet)

Verbena Flower Seeds:Description:Verbena are natives of North and South America. Verbenas or Vervain can grow from 6 inches to 4 feet high and may be bushy or creeping in growth. The toothed or cut leaves usually grow opposite each other and reach a length of 1 to 3 inches. In the summer or fall, slender stalks arise and bear flattened clusters of flowers, 2 to 3 inches across. They may be multi-colored, red, rose, peach, pink, purple, lavender, or blue, usually with a white eye. V. Bonariensis (Purple Top) is a pretty species forming basal rosettes of serrated, wrinkly, dark green leaves. In the summer and autumn, thin stems topped with clusters of tiny, bright purplish-pink flowers grow. This species can reach a height of up to 5 feet.Poppy California Red Flower Seeds:Description:Common poppy is quite a rare casual plant in Finnish nature, although it can appear en masse from seed bank to freshly ploghed fields. Common poppy’s wonderful red flower can hardly fail to be noticed by the human eye, but bees see it completely differently through their compound eyes. They see colours and combinations of colours according to the same principles as humans, but they use a different area of the colour scale and spectrum. A bee doesn’t see red at all, but on the other hand it’s able to detect ultra-violet light. It’s difficult to imagine what a poppy looks like through a bee’s compound eye. Regarding pollination, however, an insect’s sight is what really matters. Happily though, common poppy’s colour is also pleasing to the human eye, and the species is a reasonably popular ornamental.Common poppy resembles its relative long-headed poppy (P. dubium), but they can be most easily differentiated on the basis of the form of the fruit of their capsule. There are also small differences in the hairiness of the stem and, in the size and colour of the corolla. Common poppy is the national flower of Poland.
