About Poppy Seeds - Danish Flag

Papaver somniferum

Seed Type Heirloom Seed

A beautiful Poppy Seed variety, the somniferum "Danish Flag" is characterized by its bold color pattern. Vibrant red with a bright white cross through the center, this striking flower resembles the national flag of Denmark, giving this poppy somniferum seed variety its name.
