A truly special blend of poppies, Shirley Poppy Falling in Love looks as if watercolors were painted on silk. Shades of rosy pink bloom together with tangerine and coral, all on a large percentage of double blooms. Large blooms expanding up to three inches across, many with picotee edging, stretch up to 25 inches high. Nodding and swaying in the wind, poppies look fantastic grouped together, and Falling in Love is no exception looking particularly exquisite planted en masse.

  • • Beautiful edging looks as if petals were painted in watercolor
  • • As a hardy annual, seeds tolerate and actually benefit from cold weather
  • • Cut and enjoy indoors, promotes further blooming
