Flowers Native to Poland
Native flowers of Poland are often found growing in the wild throughout most of eastern Europe. While the majority of these flowers are now commonly found in the United States, they were first introduced from European countries, including Poland. Native Polish flowers tend to grow easily both in the wild and in cultivated gardens, dotting the landscape with bright splashes of color.
Corn Poppy
Corn poppy (Papaver Rhoeas), also known as Flanders poppy, is native to Europe and is named for its tendency to flourish in fields of cereal grains, such as wheat or corn. Corn poppy is also the national flower of Poland. This annual plant grows easily with minimal care. It is often classified as a weed due to its rapid growth and subsequent tendency to hinder the growth and production of grain plants, according to the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Beginning in the spring, bright red flowers bloom, and blossoming continues until the first frost. Corn poppy grows well in moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. This plant is hardy to USDA planting zones 3 to 9.
