Wondrous 5” across and feathery super double lavender blooms with deep violet petal bases (for a high definition effect) are just breathtaking! To 3’ in height, it’s best to plant these taller Papavers mid to back of bed. Cut spent flowers to extend bloom season and give them good soil with compost added for most impressive show. Bees LOVE them! Self-sows for new plants each Spring.
