Opium Poppy - Double White

Papaver somniferum

A fairy-tale poppy variety in a beautiful white dress that looks incredibly stunning in gardens and wilder plantings. The white beauty is incredibly popular among our pollinators and a true summer classic in cottage gardens. It is lovely to plant together with other summer flowers and creates magic with its beautiful but genuine simplicity as the fancy flowers move in the wind.

Opium poppy, also known as feather poppy, is a beloved cultivated plant that belongs to the poppy family and has been known since ancient times. It probably comes from the eastern Mediterranean region but is now found all over the world.

This is a favorite of our ambassador Uncle Green!

(This variety should not be eaten as it can be toxic)

    Poppy is incredibly easy to grow. It's just as suitable among vegetables as it is in the flower garden. The large flowers shine brightly in the garden, and the seed heads dry out to become beautiful everlasting flowers.
