Blooming continued for months and the color changed from the time it bloomed to the time the petals fell off, very Beautiful.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests9/2/25Hey Amanda,
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful experience with our Pandora Poppy Seeds! We absolutely love hearing that these bloomed continuously for months this past spring - that kind of extended flowering season is exactly what makes these poppies so special! And how amazing that you got to watch the color transformation happen right before your eyes as the blooms aged - there's nothing quite like having flowers that put on their own little color show from the moment they open until the petals finally drop! That ever-changing display really does create the most gorgeous garden experience, and it sounds like your Pandora poppies gave you months of that beautiful color evolution to enjoy. We're so thrilled to hear they performed so wonderfully for you! Keep on growing 🌻️
