Papaver Somniferum – Fire and Snow Poppy Seeds

A showy and vibrant member of the Papaver Somniferum family, Fire and Snow takes its name from its scarlet petals contrasting against their pale white bases. Large blooms between four and five inches are packed tightly with beautifully fringed and doubled petals, making Fire and Snow a stunning and high impact poppy for any garden.

Growing to three feet tall, Fire and Snow is a study plant which will thrive easily in most garden settings. Perfect for flower borders especially, and teamed with other pinks and reds for a hot and tropical border, it is a fantastic poppy that will stun all visitors. Meanwhile, pairing it with cooler shades of cream and white will really make the vivid crimson petals explode out of any flowerbed.

Annual in characteristic, Fire and Snow is easily grown in the garden and will seed itself freely. Ripe pods can either be left on the plant to self seed, or collected and stored until being used in the fall or early spring to create a new crop of plants. And with this bumper packet of  poppy seeds there will be more than enough Papaver Somniferum Fire and Snow to bring dramatic flair to any garden space.
