Papaver somniferum ‘Black Swan’ | Breadseed Poppy | Feathered Poppy

‘Black Swan’ is one of the most dramatic and glamorous poppy varieties available — a true showstopper for cottage gardens, natural borders, and summer displays. This laciniatum-type breadseed poppy produces deeply fringed, feather-like petals in rich shades of dark burgundy to near-black, creating an unforgettable texture and movement in the garden.

An easy-to-grow hardy annual, Papaver somniferum thrives with direct sowing and minimal care. Its large blooms are followed by ornamental, round seed pods, highly valued by florists for fresh and dried arrangements. Fast-growing and architectural, ‘Black Swan’ brings bold elegance and structure to any planting scheme.

Why Grow ‘Black Swan’

  • Easy direct-sow annual with fast growth
  • Self-seeds lightly for future seasons
  • Ideal for cottage gardens, borders, and meadow-style plantings

How to Sow

Direct Sow (recommended):

  • Sow early spring (March–May) or late summer–autumn (August–September)
  • Scatter seeds thinly onto raked soil; cover very lightly
  • Maintain moisture until germination
  • Thin seedlings to 25–30 cm apart

Indoor Sowing (possible but not ideal):

  • Use deep pots to protect taproots
  • Sow in darkness at ~20°C
  • Transplant only when very small

Note: Breadseed poppies dislike transplanting. Direct sowing gives best results.

Growing Tips

  • Requires well-drained soil — excellent drainage prevents root rot
  • Water deeply but infrequently
  • Slugs love young seedlings — protect early growth
  • Remove spent blooms to extend flowering or leave them for pods
  • Once flowering finishes, pods can be harvested or left to self-seed

Cut Flowers & Pods

  • Cut when blooms are half-open
  • Sear stem ends 7–10 seconds for vase conditioning
  • Vase life: 2–3 days (pods last indefinitely)
  • Pods dry beautifully for long-term décor

Perfect For

  • Cottage & informal gardens
  • Bold summer borders
  • Dried floral work
  • Naturalistic & meadow plantings
  • Statement garden moments

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy

I have 2!
Color: Coal Black
My office is in my loft. But there are things along the wall I don’t want to look at. These work great. Hides what I don’t want to see & is a classy look in the room. Sturdy, easy to assemble, well made.

Good price
Pretty good for the price. We move them around a lot and use them as a room divider in school. It gets roughed up and has held pretty well. Needs to be tuned up by tightening all the screws or will fall apart.
