ARGEMONE SEEDS

The Argemone genus, commonly known as Prickly Poppy, is a distinctive member of the Papaveraceae family. Renowned for its striking, cup-shaped flowers with crinkled petals in shades of white or yellow, Argemone adds bold texture and colour to arid landscapes. The plants are characterised by their spiny leaves and stems, which lend a rugged charm to their appearance.

Native to the Americas, Argemone thrives in well-drained, sandy or rocky soils and full sun. These hardy annuals or perennials are drought-tolerant and ideal for xeriscapes or wildflower gardens. Among its species, Argemone mexicana, or Mexican Prickly Poppy, is particularly notable for its vibrant yellow blooms and adaptability to challenging conditions.

The Argemone genus is a testament to resilience and beauty in harsh environments. With its eye-catching flowers and ability to withstand drought, Argemone is a fascinating addition to naturalistic and dry-climate gardens.
