AMAZING GREY (Shirley Poppy)
$4.80/50 Seeds
The “Amazing Grey” Shirley poppy (Papaver Rhoeas) is a unique variety known for its semi-double, ruffled blooms in shades of grey, plum and pearl. However we only choose the grey ones to same seed from and cull the others to keep improving the colour. These poppies have delicate, tissue-paper-like petals that create a stunning visual effect. They are a hardy annual that readily self-seeds, making them a good choice for gardeners.
