Grow Heirloom Poppies - Plant Lilac pompon Poppy Seeds

Unlike any other poppy you will see, Lilac pompon is a fun, fabulous variety that reminds us why we garden! Light, fluffy, fringed petals adorn semi-tall stalks. Lilac petals contrast nicely above blue-grey foliage to create a truly stunning flower.

  • • Annual; Whimsical, unique blooms!
  • • Recommended for USDA Zones 3-8
  • • Poppy seeds require a cool period of 2-4 weeks to break dormancy, and some gardeners choose to cold stratify their seeds.

    Customer photo review of Poppy Seeds - Lilac Pompon

    All of these seeds grew out to be a dark purple variety. They were beautiful, but not what I wanted.

We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention as we strive to provide the best quality service and products to our gardeners around the country.

    I planted seeds last Sept 20 in a flower pot in Seattle. They germinated and over-wintered very well without special care. In June, they are blooming beautifully.
