'Red Chief' or Short Red Poppies

Joseph, OR(Zone 5a)

Hi All,
I am looking for some short red poppies to fill my Wizard Of Oz pot. Something between 8-12" in height would be great. I've never grown poppies so I don't know much about them. But they can only be red, and maybe a couple of differnet varieties would be cool to, but they must be under 12". If you can help me out, please lemme know. I have a TON to trade, just tell me what your looking for. Sorry, I still haven't put my list onto Dave's yet ;(

I have some red poppy seeds and I will check to see the height.

I have some California Poppy 'Mikado' [Botanical Interests] with scarlet orange flowers. Packet says 6' - 12" tall. In a pot they'd stay short I imagine.

Just a comment that you might want to consider opium poppy varieties (Papaver somniferum) if you're trying to be authentic..... Unfortunately, the only red seeds I have for these are (probably) in a mixed trade pack!
