Arctic poppies (Papaver radicatum) have a subtle, sweet fragrance that is often described as pleasant and fresh. However, their scent is not as strong or distinctive as many other flowers, which can make it less noticeable in their cold, harsh environments. Their primary adaptation is to thrive in extreme conditions rather than to attract pollinators with scent.

Poppies have adapted to survive in the winter because they completely die off. Their seeds grow into new plants in the spring.
