Black Peony Poppy (Papaver paeoniflorum) features striking, fully double blooms with deep, velvety purple-black petals that resemble lush peonies. Its vibrant flowers, up to 4-5 inches wide, create a bold, dramatic display in gardens or floral arrangements. The sturdy stems support the heavy blooms, adding elegance to any setting. Perfect for adding a unique, dark accent to mixed borders or cottage-style landscapes.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP

Poppies bloom in the cooler temperatures of late Spring and early Summer. With this said, start the seed outdoors a few weeks before the last frost as they need a bit of stratification before the temperatures warm up. They look best in the masses, so spread a few seeds within every square foot.
