A first time bloom on this very historic, small-flowered TB. SANS SOUCI is a cute little variegata.

Sharon, I'm afraid I have no way of accurately identifying which TBs might bloom with poppies because my few poppies are in a different bed with a different microclimate and later bloom period than my iris beds. There are tons of dark purple (black) and bright yellow TBs that bloom at different times in the TB season, and any of them would make a vibrant contrast to your poppies if they bloom simultaneously. I just don't know which ones would bloom at the right time for you. Generally speaking, though, if your Sibs are starting, you're probably in the latter part of TB bloom. If that's true, AUTUMN BUGLER wouldn't be a good choice. It's consistently my earliest TB.
