Opium poppy 'Purple peony' (Papaver somniferum) 0,5g

Opium poppy ‘Purple Peony’ is an impressive, double-flowered poppy with large, showy, violet flowers reminiscent of peonies. Lush and very unusual. 

Blooms abundantly in mid-summer. After flowering, it forms decorative seed pods, which are also suitable for dry arrangements. Seeds are edible.

Sow directly outdoors in a permanent location. Cover the seeds with a very thin layer of soil and press the soil lightly. Poppies can also be sown in intervals to enjoy a longer blooming period.
