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.
