Papaver somniferum 'Lilac Pompom'
- Product number: 544840
- Origin: Central and Southern Europe
- Latin: Papaver somniferum
A fantastically soft, lilac-purple poppy with a finely structured double flower form. The lilac-pink hue is rarely beautiful; sown in a blooming field, the flowers create a playful effect, with constant change: falling petals interspersed with new, unfurling blooms.
Poppies are a gem in the garden. They are also fantastic as cut flowers; cut them in the bud when the color is just visible. You will see them fully unfurl...
