Meet the Shasta Poppy, a dazzling masterpiece in Sandy Duncan's cherished "Super Poppy" series, born from three decades of advanced interspecific breeding. Shasta’s blooms are a stunning display, with petals edged in delicate cotton-candy pink that fades to a refreshing lime-white base. But it’s her extraordinary center that truly sets her apart—a bold pink halo encircling a honey-colored eye that matures to black, giving this flower an exotic, color-changing allure. Like her “Super Poppy” siblings, Shasta is remarkably floriferous, often gracing the garden with a second bloom in fall. Her glossy, longer-lasting foliage adds lasting beauty, while an extended bloom time, superior hardiness, and excellent sunlight tolerance make Shasta a standout in any garden. Rarely seen outside England, this uncommon gem brings unparalleled charm wherever she grows.
