Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another fun & fabulous peony poppy. The seed for this one is scarce and comes from England of course. If you give them rich soil and water, the flowers will be 4"-5" across and incredibly double so as to form a sphere. Spring-blooming. 4' tall. Reseeds! May need staking - but easy. Due to Agricultural Restrictions we cannot ship this plant to West Virginia.
