Bunga poppy termasuk ke dalam jenis bunga-bunga liar yang biasanya tumbuh mengelompok di padang rumput atau pegunungan. Jenis bunga ini sekarang sudah banyak dibudidayakan sebagai tanaman hias. Keragaman warnanya yang menarik seperti merah jambu, putih, kuning, oranye, merah darah, biru, atau ungu menjadikan bunga ini cukup diminati. Kesannya yang ringkih dan mudah terluka semakin membuatnya mempesona.
Tanaman ini lebih kurang terdiri dari 120 spesies, termasuk diantaranya yang dipakai sebagai bahan baku opium. Bunga-bunga liar berumur bervariasi antara satu hingga tiga tahun ini banyak dijumpai di Eurasia, Afrika dan Amerika Utara (Kanada, Alaska, Rocky Mountains).
Sudah lama bunga poppy digunakan sebagai simbol kematian atau tidur panjang. Ekstrak opium dari bunga poppy dan warnanya yang merah darah sering dikaitkan dengan dua hal tersebut. Dalam budaya Romawi, bunga ini dipakai sebagai persembahan untuk orang yang meninggal dan dipahat di batu-batu nisan sebagai lambang tidur abadi. Versi lain menyebutkan bunga ini dianggap sebagai pertanda reinkarnasi setelah kematian.
Di Eropa dan negara-negara Commonwealth, bunga poppy - terutama yang berwarna merah - sering dipakai untuk memperingati korban-korban Perang Dunia I pada tanggal 11 November setiap tahun, baik serdadu maupun penduduk sipil. Di Selandia Baru dan Australia, bunga poppy melambangkan Returned Services Association pada peringatan ANZAC Day setiap tanggal 25 April. Jenis golden poppy menjadi bunga resmi negara bagian California di Amerika.
