Breadseed Poppy Pink Peony
Product Description
Breadseed Poppy Pink Peony
Papaver spp.
Grown primarily for their decorative seed pods, breadseed poppies are easy to grow and make a wonderful addition to any garden. I’ve been saving this seed for over 10 years, gifted to me by my neighbor, Louise. Ultra feminine, massive flower heads look like upturned petticoats. Though flowers are packed full with petals, their stems are strong enough to support the weight. After flowers fade, they leave behind an abundance of beautiful, glaucous grey seed pods that add textural interest, both fresh and dried.
Details:
Plant type: annual
Height: 36-48”
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 80-90 days
Plant spacing: 9”
Pinch: not necessary
Approx seeds per packet: 200
How to Grow:
Breadseed poppies resent transplanting and do best when direct sown. Plant directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Slugs love them, so keep an eye out.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
The flowers of this variety of poppy aren’t particularly long lasting. Cut flowers last just 2-3 days in the vase if you’re lucky. Harvest when ½ open and sear the bottom end in boiling water for 7-10 seconds. Seed pods can be dried and used indefinitely.
