Notes

'Lilac PomPom Poppy' poppy (Papaver somniferum 'Lilac PomPom Poppy') is an annual for borders and containers. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun. It grows 36 to 48 inches tall, so it works well toward the back of a bed. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Spider flower, Queeny Lemon Peach zinnia, and Pincushion flower.
