Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule 'Champagne Bubbles White')

Despite the name, the Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule) is *not* native to Iceland. It’s actually native to **subpolar regions of North America and Eurasia**. This includes:

* **Arctic and subarctic regions of North America:** Alaska, Canada, parts of the northern United States
* **Eurasia:** Northern Europe, Siberia, Mongolia, and parts of China.

The name “Iceland Poppy” likely comes from early botanical descriptions based on plants found in Iceland, even though they are not exclusively found there.

So, the true native region is much broader and colder than just Iceland.
