'violet peony' is luscious blackcurrant mousse coloured fully double poppy.
The opium poppy is another wonderful garden
...
Papaver somniferum ' Cherry Glow' has large, single flowers in a rich magenta-pink with pepper-pot seedpods. Comes true from self-sown seed.
Opium poppies are a wonderful garden flower which pops up of its own volition, from one year to the next. Beautiful in flower & the seedpods are fantastic for arranging
- we use them fresh, dried & sprayed silver at Christmas & of course the seeds are delicious in baking & toasted for salads
- an all round unmissable posse of plants.
