Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A staple of early seed catalogs, and once called Carnation Poppy, it is harder and harder to find today. This Laciniatum poppy mix has a pouf of deeply cut petals that create frilly pompoms of bloom in early summer from spring sowing. Steel blue foliage sets off the rich colors of purple, red, white, pink, and lavender. Self sows.
