Poppy ‘Sallies Double’
Sallie's Double Pink has large, gorgeous heads that are sure to capture your heart, thriving both in sun or partial shade. Poppies will readily re-seed without becoming a nuisance, perfectly dotting your landscape with their resilience for years to come.
These seeds came to America in the pocket of a Turkish immigrant-become-professor who moved next door to Sallie, who fancied her neighbour's elegantly ebullient poppies. He offered her seeds which she grew for years, passing seeds on to her son who, in turn, has been growing them for years and sharing them. Now they are shared with you!
