Description
An opium poppy bred as a cut flower so this one holds on to its petals even in the vase. For the poppy lover like me this is unmissable.
Opium poppies are a wonderful garden flower which pops up of its own volition, from one year to the next. Beautiful in flower and the seedpods are fantastic for arranging – we use them fresh, dried and sprayed silver at Christmas – an all round unmissable posse of plants.
Please note: This is harmful if eaten.
Care Tips
Pick or deadhead flowers regularly to encourage growth and to prolong flowering. Remove seed heads if you do not want it to self-seed. Caution: Harmful if eaten.
