Poppy Seeds,
Paeony Pink

(P. somniferum) Whisk your garden away to a fairytale realm with this enchanting poppy. Its enormous, fully double blooms in soft, rosy-pink hues float like delicate clouds of crinkled petals, each one a magical puff of color, like an upturned petticoat dancing in the breeze. Towering at 2 to 4 feet tall, these annuals bloom in early summer, their ethereal flowers followed by sculptural, textured seed pods that seem plucked from a dream. Loved by floral designers for both fresh and dried arrangements, these poppies are easy to grow from direct-sown seed. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, they self-seed, returning like a gentle fairy’s visit each year.
