Bloom: Spring

Propagation: Seed
Peony poppies are self seeding annuals. They naturalize very easily. Plant seeds in autumn in the deep south and as soon as soil can be worked elsewhere.
The dried seed pods make very atractive additions to flower arrangemennts.
Queen Anne's Lace or wild carrot is a biennial. Plant the seeds this summer and they bloom next summer. A non native exotic, Queen Anne's Lace is not necessarily a politicaly correct addition to your wildflower meadow. On the positive side, Queen Anne's Lace does have the small florets which are important for attracting several species of beneficial insects to the organic garden.
