Papaver somniferum 'Sissinghurst White'
- Product number: 544957
- Origin: Mediterranean region
- Latin: Opium poppy
A fantastic sight, this pure white poppy grows on strong stems, approximately 60-80 cm high, with the well-known crisp, grey leaves. Grey with white... can you picture it? Famous colour gardens have been created in Sissinghurst Garden, and this one was selected for the white garden there. I was very fond of this garden, and I highly recommend a visit!
Poppies are a gem in the garden. They are also fantastic as cut flowers; cut them in bud when the colour is just visible. You will see them fully unfold...
