Papaver rhoeas ‘Pandora’ poppy with deep wine and plum petals, delicate crimped blooms, perfect for cottage gardens.
This stunning poppy "Pandora" delivers a dramatic blend of deep wine, plum, and rose-toned blooms, each petal beautifully crimped for that signature cottage-garden softness. Ideal for naturalistic planting schemes, meadow borders, pollinator patches, and anyone seeking a low-maintenance annual with big visual payoff.
 
Fast to establish and happiest in poor, well-drained soil, this poppy self-seeds lightly to return year after year, creating a romantic, ever-evolving show. A favourite with bees and a standout choice for adding movement, texture, and painterly colour to early-summer displays. Perfect for beginner growers, cut-flower enthusiasts, and wildflower meadow creators who want reliable germination and abundant blooms with minimal fuss.
