Poppy 'Afghan Blue' (Papaver somniferum) - Seed RS

It's not uncommon to see three or four bees buzzing around these poppy's pink and white petals when they first open. Their seedpods make wonderful rattles and look lovely in dried arrangements. Poppies are one of the most ancient medicinal and culinary plants with a very long history of human use.
