The Story
A spectacular poppy with blooms of the darkest-plum and a pompom-like form. Sow in drifts to create an eye-catching border or harvest as a cut flower when half-open. Seedpods can be dried. Easy to grow, best sown directly into the garden.
Stratify: Chilling seeds in the fridge for 2-3 weeks prior to sowing will promote germination by breaking seed dormancy.
Surface Sow: Requires light to germinate. Sow seed on the surface. Press seed down into the soil. Keep moist.
