Product Information

About the product

What it is?

Mother of Peal Poppies look like a delicious dessert, with marble mocha-raspberry swirl blended with creamy white and pale pink. The double petals really stand out with this rosy bi-color variety. Shirley Poppies are some of the easiest to grow, and their delicate blooms will gladly self-seed for years to come.
