Corn poppies are valuable to wildflower and pollinator seed mixtures and cottage gardens. Honeybees and other beneficial insects are attracted to the flowers for their pollen. Poppies look more dramatic when planted in mass and are necessary for every spring garden. They self-sow freely. They are adaptable to most well-drained garden soils in an open, sunny position and are tolerant to poor sandy soils, drought, and frost resistance.
Papaver rhoeas poppies are native to Europe where they can be found in cultivated fields, meadows, and roadsides.
