Black Peony Poppy seeds
Black peony poppy flowers are stunning. The black peony poppy is a deep deep burgundy color, almost black. These are technically poppy flowers, but closely resemble the peony due to their bouffant petals.
Black peony poppies can get to be 24-36 inches tall with robust double blooms. The petals are smooth but somewhat frayed on the ends. These are great for shade or sun, so they are flexible for any type of environment you may have. Like most larger flowers, these are powerful bee and butterfly magnets.
These are drought-tolerant and do well in containers. They are extremely easy to grow just make sure you have enough room as these need to be spaced 6 - 8 inches apart.
