Poppy, Opium – Papaver somniferum – Perhaps it would be wise not to conduct any ‘medicinal’ experiments with this plant. Although we are assured that this is a ‘look-a-like’ poppy and not the source of true opium!
It is a very decorative flower for the garden in shades of dusky pink and purple. Sprinkle seeds on bread or use the seed heads in flower arrangements. After flowering the seed heads look good in the garden in their own right. Will self seed.
The flowers are also very attractive to beneficial insects.
