Soft Lilac Luxury for Your Garden

Imagine a garden filled with blooms so full and frothy they look like something from a dream. The Lilac Peony Poppy (Papaver paeoniflorum) delivers exactly that — enormous, fully double flowers in the most delicate shade of lilac, with layer upon layer of silky petals that sway gently in the breeze. A true showstopper from late spring through summer.

Why Gardeners Love It

  • 🌸 Fully double peony-style blooms — lush, ruffled layers of soft lilac petals
  • 📏 Grows 80–120 cm tall — a dramatic statement in borders and cottage gardens
  • ✂️ Exceptional as a cut flower — long-lasting and stunning in arrangements
  • 🌿 Striking seed heads — large, architectural pods that are beautiful dried or used green as structural line in arrangements
  • 🐝 Attracts bees and pollinators — a beautiful and wildlife-friendly choice
  • 🌱 Easy to grow — direct sow in autumn or early spring; self-seeds freely

Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow directly into free-draining soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. Autumn sowing across most NZ regions gives the best results, allowing seeds to naturally stratify over winter for strong spring germination. Thin seedlings to 25–30 cm apart. Once established, these poppies are low-maintenance and will reward you with weeks of spectacular blooms.

Each packet contains 30 seeds of Papaver paeoniflorum (Lilac), with growing instructions included.
