Emilia's Heirloom Poppy (Papaver somniferum) - A stunning double-fringed dark pink and white heirloom gifted to us by David Braun, a customer who told us the seeds came from his mother, Emilia. She originally grew these flowers on the family acreage in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany, although David also suggested they may have originally come from the Netherlands.
The large, double-fringed flowers are truly stunning, with beautiful dark pink and white colouring. Plants can reach 3-4 feet in height. A very unique and rare annual poppy that blooms best in full sun.
**All parts of poppy plants are poisonous. Large amounts ingested can be toxic.
