Black Peony Poppy

A deeply dramatic poppy, with intricately ruffled blooms in shades of obsidian to dark burgundy. The flowers are fully double and so large, from 3-5 inches across! This show-stopping variety stuns in the landscape or in arrangements, and it’s unique in that the seedpods also make a wonderful addition to dried flower designs. These annual plants stand 3-4 feet in height and will readily self sow in the garden.
