The beauty of 'Amazing Grey' is beyond compare! Crepe-paper like blooms unfurl into single and half-double blooms, each unique. Bred over 18 years from a single bloom in the Mother of Pearl poppy blend, the breeder isolated the purple-grey flowers, although you may see an occasional burgundy bloom. A practically care-free annual and a pollinator favorite, these poppies reseed making them ideal for naturalized areas. A 2018 Fleuroselect Novelty award winner. Drought tolerant and deer resistant.

Love these!! They did so good in the spring! I planted out in the fall to overwinter here in North Texas.

Love the beautiful graceful petals and I love even more the fact that they reseed easily.

I am in zone6a, I directly sow these in ground in early may and now have flowers in late June. This one definitely has a low heat tolerance. The foliage started yellowing before flower and the buds are smaller compared to American legion. There's a shades of colors from pale pink(almost white) to dark greyish purple for me. I probably will try to start them this year in fall to see if they will develop better flowers in early spring.

Direct sowed according to the package and enjoyed the most lovely and delicate flowers! Definitely planting again this season.
