'Monet's Poppy' has single, lavender-pink flowers with darker blotches. It is simple and elegant. I greatly enjoyed growing this beautiful poppy, and the bees loved it too!
'Monet's poppy' has the cutest dried pods I've ever seen They are perfect for flower arrangements and crafting.
In the late 1990s, someone salvaged the seeds for this heirloom poppy out of a trash pile at Monet's Garden in Giverny, France. The seeds made their way to J. L. Hudson, Seedsman, which is where I bought them.
