Against that silver the purple has an almost lit quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a modern variety by poppy standards. An American gardener called Lauren selected and stabilised it in the 1990s, and it has become one of the most photographed things in a cottage border since. The pods that follow are the same big pepper-pot capsules as 'Black Peony' and 'Hungarian Blue', and they are what we grow it for here as much as the flowers; they carry a good deal of our dried work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow direct where it is to flower, because the taproot will not take moving. Surface-sow uncovered, autumn for preference. \u003cstrong\u003eThin to 30cm when the seedlings are about 5cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, or the plants stay spindly and the flowers come small.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll parts are toxic except the fully dried seed.
