Description
Papaver somniferum var. paeoniflorum
Simply stunning – gorgeous pink full glorious blooms – same colour as our favourite bubblegum! Luscious peony type blooms. (See under Blog section for poppy info)
Peony poppy is also sometimes called double garden poppy because it produces large, double blooms that typically span 4 to 5 inches across. The plant reaches an average of height of 2 to 3 feet. The flowers have the characteristic papery, ruffled appearance and texture of other poppies. The attractive foliage has rounded leaves accented with feathery edging. The large seed pods that appear after flowering work well in dried floral arrangements and you can use them for crafts.
Peony poppy prefers organically rich, well-draining soil in full sun. Annual. Will self seed.

Such beautiful pink poppies! Grew very well even in the heavy soil in my area. Made a nice display of colour mixed with others on my garden borders! Many blooms when spent blooms are deadheaded.
