Poppy – Hungarian Blue Breadseed – Papaver somniferum (3.25″ pot)

Description

Beautiful biocolored purple flowers, large decorative pods, and lots of tasty blue colored seeds.

A graceful and gorgeous poppy from Hungary, beloved for its tasty seeds. This edible breadseed poppy produces dazzling purple petals that give way to large seed-filled pods. The pods are excellent for arranging, adding unique form to designs. The seeds are light blue with a nutty flavor. An annual that easily self-sows, we love to plant this poppy in drifts, creating a swaying sea of purple color. Many Hungarian recipes call for poppy seeds, from fillings to rolls and bread. There is even a traditional noodle dish with ground poppy seed topping.

Annual, self-seeding

Poppies love full sun and well drained soil.
