Papaver rhoeas. It was love at first sight as soon as we spotted this stunning poppy in our trial beds. The flowers of Amazing Grey poppy are such a pale lilac colour they appear grey against their green foliage. The flowers appear about 65 days after direct sowing in spring, and are fully double, with an incredibly delicate texture. Like most poppies, Amazing Grey tends to self sow, but never becomes aggressive and it's very easy to control.
Annual.
