Poppy Mix Seed Bundle
Poppies are delicate, ephemeral beauties. This seed collection will absolutely astound you - the colors are so magical. From electric orange to a cherry-wine colored dream. This seed mix contains 7 different types of Poppies, and what they all have in common is a desire to be direct-sown into the ground when its still a bit chill outside. Poppies do not liked to be transplanted, so just sow your seeds right into your garden or pot, water gently, and wait for the miracle.
Includes seven types of Poppy seed tubes, individually packed in a little cotton bag: Black Swan Breadseed, Lilac Pompom Breadseed, Thai Silk Appleblossom Chiffon California, Thai Silk Apricot Chiffon California, Icelandic Champagne Bubbles Pink, Shirley Amazing Grey, and Shirley Bridal Silk.
