Pandora Shirley poppies are semi-double and double blooms that reach 3 in across. Colors include a range of dusky rose, red velvet, and rich burgundy red, and the poppy petals are artfully streaked in silver gray. Pandora Shirley poppy plants are bushy, long-blooming and are easy to grow.
Abundant number of beautiful 3 in wide blooms in soft silvery greys, misty whites, slate blues and lavender greys - ruffled single and double flowers that look like delicate tissue paper. Absolutely stunning! Poppies need a period of cold prior to germination.
