Kings garden centre (Katikati) have a whole range of peony poppy. I have just ordered a black one. Will see how it goes. If you want to force them, keep the seed in the fridge for a month or so before scattering the seed. If you keep the seed you may have to hand pollinate to get true colours. Bees don’t care.You will get tens of thousand seeds off a few plants. Good luck

I started seeds inside this April. They transplanted beautifully!
I put a few in pots. They too, did well.
So…can’t hurt to try.

Have you visited http://www.onestoppoppyshoppe.com for your pale pink poppy? They have a variety listed as lavender that looks very similar to what you are looking for. Good luck!

Hi, Ginger–they are not good as cut flowers. I think they would do well in pots but you would have to direct sow the seed as they don’t like being disturbed at all. And so you would have to time it just right as each flower only lasts a day or two.

Thankyou so much for the info!
Im getting married and want to keep cost down by getting my mother to grow yes grow my flower!
We have chosen the peony rose but these poppies are darling!
My mum lives in a very cold part of new zealand so i think she could grow these successfully with the peony rose!
Do you know how well the poppies will do as a cut flower? or in pots?
And when,where who and who is the best to get seeds? and will i have problems with sending seeds overseas?

I don’t sell them. You need to look on eBay or one of the seed companies for them.
