Would the real 'Drama Queen' please step forward?
Poppy 'Drama Queen' has frilly red petals with a purple-black center and contrasting white filaments. This stunning poppy is one of the most interesting varieties I have grown.
In 2020, we sold out of home-grown seeds, so we bought commercial seeds for the business. Unfortunately, the commercial supply had gone bad, and people were selling 'Hungarian Breadseed' as 'Drama Queen'. We haven't found a reputable source since then. Finally, we grew out the last packet of our original seeds, and here it is! Our video proves that it's the real thing.
