Antique Lavender Poppy Seeds - Papaver paeoniflorum Poppies

A member of the Papaver Paeoniflorum family, Antique Lavender is an extravagant bloom which will amaze all who see it. A tightly packed flower of lacy, doubled petals, Antique Lavender offers a rich purple hue to the garden palette. Deepening in color as its ages, it is a beautiful poppy species to add to any collection.

Growing to between two and three feet high, Antique Lavender will need some support to ensure that it can flower to the best of its abilities. However, such care will be richly rewarded with large flowers up to five inches across. These heavily petalled flowers offer a magnificent sight to any border or container, and teamed with lighter shades to contrast their color, will add a historic richness to any setting.

An annual variety, Antique Lavender grows very easily in most garden soils and will flower abundantly throughout the year. At the end of the season a large number of seeds will also be produced which can be collected and stored, or left in the pods and allowed to self seed. This packet of 150 poppy seeds is best sown in the fall or early spring, and will bring a classic sophistication to any garden.
