‘Pink Peony’ Breadseed Poppies become the focal point of your garden when in bloom. The soft fluffy pink bloom reminds me of an oldfashioned petticoat or a poodle skirt from the 50s. After flowering, these plants have beautiful glaucous gray seedpods that can be used in arrangments for textural interest. The seed pods can also be dried.
Mature height: 36”
Sowing: Poppies are best direct-sown after the threat of frost has passed. Beware that slugs love the seedlings so take necessary precautions.
Spacing: 9” between plants. No need to pinch.
Days to maturity: 80 to 90 days.
Exposure: full sun.
Harvest/Vase Life: Harvest when flowers are half-open. Sear stem ends in boiling water for a few seconds. This poppy variety doesn’t last long so enjoy it when in bloom. Vase life can be 2-3 days. Seedpods can be dried.
