| Distribution | Mostly the Piedmont and Mountains; also New Hanover and Pender counties. Some records lack label data, so the website editors cannot tell if cultivated.
Native of Europe and SW Asia. In N.A. Atlantic states and provinces west to KS and OK. | |
| Abundance | Uncommon in Mountains and Piedmont, rare in Coastal Plain. There are very few recent records and so it is probably rare today. | |
| Habitat | Railroad cinder beds, roadsides, fields, cropfields, other disturbed sites. | |
| Phenology | Flowering March-May. | |
| Identification | This poppy is 1-2 feet tall, with irregularly dissected leaves. It is much like P. rhoeas but the flower stalk is appressed hispid (vs. spreading hispid). The quite large flowers are orange to red. | |
