Description
Soft as a spring sunrise, Pastel Meadows Iceland poppies bloom in a dreamy mix of buttery cream, blush pink, apricot, peach, and the palest lemon. Their delicate, tissue-paper petals dance atop slender stems, catching the light and swaying with every breeze. These enchanting blooms bring an effortless, meadow-like beauty to the garden and are a favourite for romantic, garden-inspired bouquets. Blooming generously in the cool days of spring and early summer, they're well worth the wait, rewarding you with armfuls of airy, luminous flowers that seem to glow from within.
