Poppy – Amazing Grey Mix (P. rhoeas)

$5.25

Smokey petals have the look of crushed silk dipped in Earl Grey lavender, sophisticated and haunting purple-grey hues – highly sought after for its elegance in the landscape & arrangements. A favourite of high-end florists who reserve Amazing Grey for the finest design work. There is noting quite like them!

Recommended by Erin at Floret Flowers.

These seeds are extremely tiny so care when planting is required.

Description

Some smokey reds will show up in the mix from time to time.

Plants are vigorous and free flowering. After blooms drop, they leave behind adorable, chocolate-capped seed pods.

Shirley poppies resent transplanting. Direct sow into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Can be started indoors, just take care when planting out not to disturb the roots too much. (see blog post)

Individual flowers are short lived, lasting 3-4 days if stem ends are seared 7-10 seconds in boiling water. Harvest when flowers are just opening.
