Organic Sallie's Double Pink Poppy HEIRLOOM Luscious, endless petals! These seeds came to America in the pocket of a Turkish immigrant-become-professor who moved next door to Sallie, who fancied her neighbor's elegantly ebullient poppies. He offered her seeds which she grew for years, passing seeds on to her son (our dear friend Alaric) who, in turn, has been growing them for years. We fancied them ourselves.
Give your neighbors something to swoon over. And be generous with the seeds come :)
Sallie's Double Pink has gorgeous heads will continue to unfurl for several months, thriving both in sun or partial shade. Poppies will readily re-seed without becoming a nuisance, perfectly dotting your landscape with their resilience for years to come.
