Transition Farms: Shirley Poppy "Amazing Grey"

Papaver rhoeas

The unusual plum, pale grey, deep cabernet, semi double and single blooms combine with their tissue paper, crinkly appearance making ‘Amazing Grey’ a stunning addition to gardens and design work. The flowers are held on tall stems and are much loved by pollinators. It is as if a great fashion house hand sewed each bloom, they are that delicate, unique and softly shaded. We simply adore them!

• Easy to grow

• Unusual plum - grey colour and paper like petals

• Hardy Annual

• Beloved by pollinators

Easy to grow, vigorous plants that produce an abundance of blooms over a 6-week period in late spring/early summer with small structural seed pods that work well with dried arrangements. The delicate and unusual combination of the almost not real petals and the colours make these wonderful for design work. Although the flowers are short lasting (buds on cut stems will continue to open), they leave a strong impression.
