Mixed European Papaver Somniferum Poppy Seeds – A Continental Blend of Color & Heritage

This blend brings together the finest poppies from five regions known for their rich horticultural history, creating a vibrant, ever‑changing display from late spring through summer.


🌺 What’s Inside This Continental Mix

A curated blend of European poppy types, including:

  • English Maroon field poppies — extra large dramatic deep red blooms (this is not common Shirley Poppy)
  • Dutch pastel poppies — soft pinks, whites, and lilacs favored in Holland’s cottage gardens
  • Hungarian heirloom poppies — bold, large‑flowered varieties with deep jewel tones
  • Czech frilled poppies — unique fringed petals and dramatic bicolors
  • Turkish heritage poppies — ancient strains with rich reds, purples, and striking contrasts
  • These are all True Somniferum Poppies - No Glaucum, no Rhoeas, but true Somniferum cultivars

Each region contributes its own character, resulting in a garden full of surprises and nonstop visual interest.
