Papaver Orientale Harlem Poppy showcases large and vibrant petals that exude a boisterous presence in the garden. Adorned in a deep boysenberry hue, these petals feature striking purple blotches and dark, almost black, centers. Held proudly on sturdy stems, they are not only a joy to behold in the garden but also make excellent additions to stunning floral arrangements.
