Between 5 & 6 ft tall. For some reason I didn't get any when I seeded that
same perennial border again last year. I have lavender, frilly double pink
and single red - all tall, but no black :(. I have more seeds to sprinkle
this winter, >>
Might be useful for the group to post sources of this poppy other than the
usual. I have some of Lauren's Grape from a society seedlist last year.
Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) is the easiest poppy to grown and always
reseeds for us. The violet/purple/black forms are stunning.
