Papaver somniferum. Frosted Salmon Peony poppies are crowned by dramatic, fully double flowers in bright red to salmon pink. As the day passes, the petal edges fade slightly, giving the flowers a frosted appearance. They can grow to 10cm (4″) across. Hardy annual.
How To Grow, Timing: For best results, direct seed outdoors in the early spring, when the soil is cool and there is still some risk of frost. Three plantings at six weeks apart will prolong the blooming season. Or direct sow in the fall for blooms the following summer.
How To Grow, Starting: Since the seeds are very fine, barely cover with soil, and keep moist until germination.
How To Grow, Growing: Thin plants 20-25cm (8-10″) apart and deadhead flowers to prolong blooming. Poppies prefer a rich and well-drained soil but are highly adaptable to many growing conditions. Grow in full sun to light shade and for maximum impact, cluster plants in a border.
