| The Everlasting that really earns its name, Florist's Poppy lasts for many years in dried arrangements of all types. These large, purplish-gray seedpods are simply fascinating, both in color and shape, and add great contrast to any fresh or dried floral arrangement with their stick-like brown stems and round, tufted tops! Easy to grow in full sun, Florist's Poppy can be sown direct in early spring. The plant reaches 3 to 4 feet tall, sporting lovely soft-lavender blooms in late spring. The seedpods arise in clusters, with a large central pod surrounded by several smaller ones--hence, the common name "Hens and Chickens." To dry, simply cut the stem at the desired height, remove any foliage, and hang it upside-down in a well-ventilated, dry location. Pkt is 200 seeds. |
