Oh la la — Papaver hybridum ‘Cupcake’ brings perfectly princess-pink poppy blooms to the garden in ruffled, party-ready style. Big, wavy, cotton-candy flowers can reach up to 5" across, each marked with prim purple center blotches for a charming contrast that looks both delicate and dramatic.

Also known as Cupcake Poppy, this showy annual brings a soft romantic glow to cottage gardens, wildflower plantings, cutting gardens, and sunny borders. Tall stems carry the satiny flowers above ferny foliage, creating a classic poppy effect that pairs beautifully with larkspur, bachelor buttons, sweet peas, calendula, grasses, and other spring annuals. Leave a few seed pods to mature if you want a chance of future poppy surprises.

Plant Papaver hybridum ‘Cupcake’ in full sun with well-drained soil. Direct sow or plant carefully, as poppies prefer minimal root disturbance. Enjoy the fresh blooms in the garden, and allow seed heads to develop for ornamental texture. Explore more romantic blooms in our Papaver - Poppies collection.
