Soft apricot-orange, single or occasionally semi-double blooms appear continuously on long upright stems above a pretty, flat rosette of blue-green, hairy leaves. It is almost never out of bloom and is incredibly tough, and almost indestructible, growing almost anywhere and will even self-sow in the cracks of a dry rock wall! You can forget to water it for weeks and it will still bloom! This incredible perennial poppy comes from the hot, dry areas of Spain and Morocco.
