📌 Product Description

Papaver nudicaule ‘Spring Fever Yellow Sun’ is a cheerful flowering annual prized for its bright, sunny yellow blooms and delicate, silky petals. The flowers are held on slender stems above soft, feathery foliage, creating a light and airy display that adds vibrant colour to the garden.

This variety is especially popular for bedding displays, borders, containers, and mass planting, where it produces a striking carpet of colour during the cooler seasons. In South African gardens, it thrives in cooler conditions and is ideal for autumn and winter planting, bringing brightness when many other plants are dormant.

Fresh, eye-catching, and easy to grow, Papaver nudicaule ‘Spring Fever Yellow Sun’ is an excellent choice for gardeners wanting vibrant seasonal colour and soft floral texture.
