Mother of Pearl poppy pastel petals
A field poppy by nature that blooms, with pastel pink and purple papery petals. Mother of Pearl Poppy seeds are best sown in drifts, bobbing along in the summer breeze.
The common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is an annual wildflower characterised by striking papery blooms. The seeds of the common poppy can lie dormant for up to 80 years, germinating once the soil is disturbed. The blooms of the common poppy typically last from late spring to early summer. These poppies require almost no maintenance when they are planted in their hardiness zones, and they are great for naturalising. They also work well in garden beds, cottage gardens, borders, and pollinator gardens.
