Fringe makes everything more fun and we’ve got your ticket to Fringeopolis right here with this gorgeous purple poppy. Growing up to 2-3’ tall, this heavy blooming, easy reseeder is a cottage garden must-have. Plant a small grouping in the middle of your bed for a beautiful display - and don’t even think about deadheading because it will deprive you of the extremely showy seed heads that will give you months of joy. As an added bonus this variety is actually a breadseed poppy, so its seeds are edible! If you’ve never tried fresh poppy seeds straight from the pod you are missing one of life’s great joys. Rich soil for best show.
