Frilly, fringed, and perfectly petticoated, Papaver hybridum ‘Sugar Plum’ is a gorgeous annual poppy with semi-double lilac-purple blooms and darker centers. The cupped outer petals cradle the frilly inner petals, giving each flower excellent form and a soft, romantic presence in spring gardens.

Also known as Sugar Plum Poppy, this cool-season annual is wonderful in cottage gardens, cutting gardens, meadow-style plantings, and sunny borders where its gray-green foliage and ruffled blooms can shine. Plant it with bachelor buttons, larkspur, sweet peas, white corn cockle, nigella, or soft grasses for a dreamy spring display. The flowers are beautiful in the garden and irresistible to poppy fans who love unusual color.

Plant Papaver hybridum ‘Sugar Plum’ in full sun with rich, well-drained soil during cool weather. In mild climates, plant fall through early spring; in colder zones, plant after the last frost. Allow seed pods to mature if you welcome reseeding. Explore more romantic bloomers in our Papaver - Poppy collection.
