Striking! Black Peony Poppies are highly unusual, and a hard to find variety of poppy! Makes a fantastic stand alone feature or great in cottage gardens, borders and cutting flower gardens.

This stunning summertime flower has huge fully double and fringed (10 cm or 4 in across) blooms with tightly packed petals that resemble a double peony in the deepest purple available- so dark, they appear black. The dramatic, peony-like flowers open for one day, and blooms appear from July through September.  Leaves are smooth and lettuce like.
