Carnation Rose, organic seeds

Eco

Information

Carnation Rose, with its large and full, carnation-like flowers, 10-12 cm in diameter, and bright pink colour, draws attention to itself, even from afar. Like other full poppy flowers, it keeps much longer than simple varieties. Carnation Rose is 60-70 cm tall and blooms over a long period. A portion contains about 400 seeds.

Edible seeds?
Carnation Rose belongs to Papaver somniferum but is also a peony variety. We recomend you to not eat the seeds.

Seeds from the species Papaver somniferum are edible and can be used in cooking and baking. Several other species have poisonous seeds and should not be eaten. Therefore, only use seeds if you’re certain that they come from Papaver somniferum.
