About Poppy Seeds - Double Black

Papaver somniferum

Seed Type Open Pollinated Seed
Plant Type Double, Peony-Flowered

The Poppy somniferum Double Black is a beautiful annual variety of Poppy Flower Seeds. The rich color, deep purple almost back, is offset by the large, frilly, double-petaled head. This hearty poppy seed is valued for its architectural pepper-pot shaped seed pod that will self-seed in your flower bed for additional seasons of color.
