Poppy - Peony Double Black is a striking, hardy annual reaching up to 90cm. In spring, it produces dramatic, oversized double blooms in a deep, velvety purple that appears almost black. The cool, blue-green foliage provides a perfect contrast to the moody, showy flowers. Once the petals fall, the ornamental seed pods can be harvested for dried arrangements, where they beautifully maintain their structure. A stunning choice for borders or mass plantings, they also make a sophisticated cut flower.
