DOUBLE POPPY Papaver somniferum

These large poppy flowers are covered in petals! Balls red, pink and salmon color are easy to grow, and stand out in the garden. Grey/blue leaves are an added bonus. Spread seeds in fall in the garden and lightly rake in (even if you are in a cold zone), or wait until early spring. Plants will self seed to return each year if you let the plants 'go to seed' (don't remove old flowers). We are able to offer a generous 200 seeds this year! This is a mix of seeds for salmon, pink and red flowers.
