The price is good so what the heck.
My issue with this plant is The images on the website look strangely like a somnifarium or annual poppy. I am positive the images were shopped and a blue layer was added to give a purple look.
I see they are shipped bare root thats good.
Good luck and keep us posted as to how it grows.
I just double checked the vermont wildflower images and these two are annual plum poppies ,not orientals.Pattys Plum has a cluster of leaves that are more green ans deeply cut with prickles, that grows below the bloom.
Check the first pix in the collage,thats a oriental.
I only bring this up because if vermontwildflowers images are what it sells, you wont be getting an oriental.
