Earthtiller Farm Pink Peony Poppies
Regular price$8.00
/
Ultra-feminine, massive flower heads look like soft silk ribbon petals. Though flowers are packed full with petals, their stems are strong enough to support the weight. After flowers fade, they leave behind an abundance of beautiful, glaucous gray seedpods that add textural interest, both fresh and dried.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Breadseed poppies resent transplanting and do best when direct-sown. Sow seed directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Slugs love them, so keep an eye out.
Harvesting/Vase Life
Harvest when flowers are half-open, and sear stem ends in boiling water for 7 to 10 seconds. The flowers of this variety of poppy aren’t particularly long lasting; expect a vase life of 2 to 3 days. Seedpods can be dried and used indefinitely.
