Item #1231

Annual. Blooms in late spring. 2'-3' tall. Full sun. If you think Oriental Poppies are eye-catching, just wait until you see the ruffled explosion of color from Peony Poppies! These fully double 4"-5"" colorful poppies (red, red striped, pink, pale rose, salmon, cream, and white to dark purple) would look at home in the formal gardens of a French Chateau or jazzing up a flower border along your front sidewalk. They are just as easy to grow as single poppies and will be reward you with a bounty of blooms for cut flowers and pods for dried arrangements. If seed heads are left standing, plants may reseed and come up again the following year. When to plant outside: Mild climates: sow in early fall for winter & early spring color.
