Poppy Bread Black Swan

Black Swan Bread Poppy seeds produce dramatic annual flowers featuring deeply fringed, dark burgundy-purple blooms so intense they appear nearly black. This distinctive variety reaches 24-30 inches tall with blue-green foliage and sturdy stems supporting impressive 3-4 inch flowers with feathered, lacerated petals. Direct sow in early spring or fall, as they strongly resent transplanting. Thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Produces decorative seed pods valuable in dried arrangements. Ideal for cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and borders where their unique coloration and texture create sophisticated visual impact while attracting beneficial pollinators throughout early summer.
