Notes
'Purple Peony Poppy' poppy (Papaver somniferum 'Purple Peony Poppy') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. Give it full sun. This plant reaches 24 to 36 inches tall. Butterflies and bees visit it, and it tolerates drought once settled in.
Pairs well with Statice, Lemon verbena, Chocolate sunflower, and Blood flower.
