Love the beautiful graceful petals and I love even more the fact that they reseed easily.

Purchased this seed packet beginning of 2021, really looking forward to this shade of flower, however, yhe poppies are blooming red. Still beautiful! Just not what I ordered.

Got off to a slow start because of all the rain here in the northeast. They finally blossomed but were small. I hope they reseed for next year, hopefully a better growing season.
