About Poppy Seeds - Drama Queen

Papaver somniferum

Seed Type Open Pollinated Seed

Formed of red flaming petals with purple dollops in the center, Drama Queen Poppy has unfailing character and loud charisma worthy of its moniker. Upright stems hold large, five-inch blooms for weeks through the summer. As they dry, they form decorative seed pods that can be used in dried floral arrangements, or left outdoors, offering structural interest to the garden. A unique and fun punch of color, Drama Queen demands to be noticed.
