Here is the info I read in the a-z enclyclopedia of plants. lists shirley
papaver as P.rhoeas(corn poppy, field poppy, flanders poppy) cultivars have
single , smi-double or double flowers in yellow, pink, orange, or sometimes
red, always unmarked at the bases; they need careful selection to maintain
the true stock. grow in deep fertile well drained soil in full sun. sow seed
in spring for anuuals or biennials sow in place. for perennials sow seed in
containers in a cold frame divide perinnials in spring or take root cuttings
from them in late autumn or early winter.
Hope this helps some.
