Italian Poppy 'Colibri Rosa Chiaro Pastello' - 25 SEEDS (Coming Soon)

Papaver naudicaule

Poppies provide very welcome beauty in the garden as Winter finishes and nature wakes up. This cool season crop will flower in early Spring, with similar timing to Ranunculus, Anemones, Tulips & Peonies. Colibri Poppies are a specialty Italian variety with HUGE blooms in the most stunning colour palette. Often grown as a hardy annual, these amazing plants are actually a hardy perennial and can be left in the garden to rebloom.

This new collection from Biancheri in Italy includes specialty commercial varieties, specifically bred for cut-flower production and not usually available to the public. These seeds are sourced from Ball Australia, who also provide all of my flower production plugs (mini-seedlings grown from these same seeds). 

As this is their first release in Australia, Ball Australia does not yet have information or images available, and I do not have rights to publish other advertised images, so I have included links to international seed suppliers who stock these gorgeous blooms so you can visualise the beauty you will be ordering. As soon as these plants are flowering on my farm I will add my own images here.
