Papaver somniferum has bluish-green foliage and rounded capsules beneath a flat stigmatic disc.
Botanical characteristics
Ornamental forms include different petal colours, fringed edges and double flowers. These flower-form differences explain why one botanical name can cover several garden selections; a peony-flowered group does not describe every article in this list.
Petal forms and decorative capsules
For bulk ornamental-seed assortments, resellers can compare Danish Flag, Drama Queen and double mixed. Retain the exact selection name rather than transferring the colour or petal structure of another named poppy.
