Red Peony Poppies are among the most dramatic and romantic flowers you can grow from seed. Enormous, fully double blooms in rich scarlet-red — layers upon layers of silky, crinkled petals that look like they belong in an old Dutch master painting. They're breathtaking in the garden and equally stunning as a cut flower, with a fleeting, precious quality that makes every bloom feel like a gift.

These are heirloom, non-GMO seeds that have been grown and saved for generations. Sow them in autumn and let the cool winter months do the work — by spring you'll have a garden full of extraordinary blooms.

Why You'll Love Growing Red Peony Poppies

  • Spectacular double blooms: Enormous, fully double scarlet-red flowers with silky petals
  • Heirloom non-GMO: True-to-type seeds saved across generations
  • Self-seeding: Let a few pods mature and they'll return year after year
  • Superb cut flower: Cut when buds are just cracking open for the longest vase life
  • Cottage garden classic: Timeless beauty that suits any garden style

Growing Guide

  • Season: Sow in autumn (March–May) — poppies need cold stratification to germinate well
  • Position: Full sun to light shade
  • Sowing: Surface sow directly where they are to grow — poppies dislike being transplanted; press lightly into soil, do not cover
  • Spacing: Thin to 20–30cm apart once seedlings emerge
  • Watering: Keep moist until established; drought tolerant once growing
  • Harvest: Cut when buds are just beginning to open; sear stem ends in boiling water for 10 seconds for longest vase life
