This award-winning peony-type poppy has unusual frilly blooms that are approximately 10-12cm wide. The large feathery cream flowers are fully double.
An ideal bedding plant that is virtually maintenance-free. The plants have an unusual curly stem and the green seed pods are suitable for cutting for use in dried flower arrangements. Poppies are always more dramatic when planted in mass, a must for every spring garden. Self-sows freely.
Adaptable to most well-drained garden soils in an open sunny position. Tolerant to poor sandy soils and drought and frost resistance.

Plant space: 20-30cm
Flowering: 20 weeks
Feed with a soluble fertiliser every two weeks for stronger plants.
