The Double Mix Shirley Poppy is a delicate crinkly double-petaled poppy mix in charming shades of hot pink, scarlet, carnation pink, and white. This European poppy has been perfected since 1880 to become horticulturist Reverend William Wilk's famous dark-blotchless, vivid-colored, fluffy-textured poppy of Shirley, England. Growing up to 2 feet tall, these poppies are perfect for borders, wildflower gardens, or as a striking addition to your floral arrangements. These poppies are ideal for creating a naturalized look in your garden, and their vibrant blooms attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Also Known As: Shirley Double Poppy, Double Shirley Poppy, Double Flowering Shirley Poppy, Shirley Poppy Double Mix, Papaver Rhoeas Double Shirley.
