These fluffy blooms remind us of a feather boa. A pouf of shaggy, featherlike petals, in pale, silvery lavender with grape streaking, sit atop a striking saucer of single petals. As flowers fade, they reveal glaucous green seedpods that add textural interest, both fresh and dried. Breadseed poppies resent transplanting and do best when direct sown. Plant directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed.
