Iceland poppies and their tissue paper blooms are a cult favorite among florists and gardeners alike.
These are the BIG Iceland poppies, bred by Biancheri in Italy. Our favorite to grow is ‘Hummingbird Peach’ which is a subtle mix of peach, apricot and the lightest linen.
A citrusy scent and abundant flowering habit stretching from early spring through midsummer make them a highly prized cutting garden addition.
