Description
We fell head over heels for these flowy, silky, semi-double and double blossoms. Less fleeting than other poppy varieties (and most romances), this wide assortment of crimson, rose, coral, salmon, and white is one of the most eye-catching arrays we’ve encountered. The red flowers in the mix were adopted by the American Legion after WW1 as the commemorative flower to memorialize fallen soldiers. Falling in Love Poppy are early, 2-3 foot stunners that will dance in the breeze, taking your heart with them.
