Originally called
"California Double Pink Carnation Poppy", we have shortened it
down to "Pink Carnation Poppy". This seed was originally from the west coast in Northern California. The flowers look very much like carnations when in bloom. The foliage is a beautiful light green color. These seeds can over-winter and are readily self seeding here at our farm. These flowers do not make a good cut flower as the petals do not last long but are most beautiful in the gardens. The lovely pink color is noticed by all the visitors to our farm. Each plant usually grows more than one flower so we have colorful blooms for about a month! We sell the seeds and dried, ornamental pods at the farmers markets' and also use them ourselves in baking and dried flower arrangements. |
