Poppy 'Red Peony'

'Red Peony' is an heirloom poppy with fully double blooms on tall, strong stems. The old-fashioned, peony-style flowers are perfect for giving your garden a feeling of sweet nostalgia.

A nursery owner once told me that combining red flowers with pink ones looks pleasing, making customers want to buy more plants. Since then, I have enjoyed combining red and pink flowers in my garden.

Sowing Poppy Seeds
