Jackson and Perkins had one, but you got it in
a 3 pkg. mix, unidentified (as to color). I put
mine in pots until they are identifiable and
sunk them in the ground over the winter.

Hi, Patti:
Oddly enough, I found them in Jung's! And it's
the only place I've seen
carrying them. I mean, I get all these catalogs,
from all over the world,
from the most exclusive nurserys you can
imagine, and Jung's is the only
one that carries purple poppies.
Go figure. I can't even find seed for the things.
And since seeing one
pictured in Horticulter magazine I've been
searching.
Anyway, I've ordered 'Lilac Girl' (described and
pictured as "purple") and
'Raspberry Queen' ("raspberry pink"). I also
"had" to get one called
'Springtime', which is white with a true pink
border.
For the record, I have orderd a few odd's and
end's from Jung's before, and
was happy with what I got. At least it's not
Michigan Bulb.
Keith, zone 5, WNY
