Thanks, quick delivery, excellent service, nice tree.

Supplied as compost block-grown plants.
Available from APPROXIMATELY May 2021Stunningly beautiful. Near black fully double flowers rise on tall stems. And after the flower the seed heads form which look similarly wonderful.
As a cut flower they will last at best 24 hours - so unless it's a really special occasion this is a flower to enjoy in the garden! The seed pods will, of course, last indefinitely so can be used in dried flower arrangements.
Plant en masse for a truly stunning display.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
Please Note
Cultivation of Papaver somniferum is legal in the UK - the harvesting and processing of it for the production of drugs, legal or otherwise, is not!
