Afghan Pink Sunset - I NEED this flower!

[SusieWinwood]

I HAVE to have this flower! It's like a poppy but pink. I've Googled and the first hit come up with a youtube video and a link but it's a USA site.

Does anyone know where I can get this plant, or failing that the seeds for next year?

Many TIA

Susie

It may be registered under a differnt name in the uk, check the major seed companies many poppies are annuals and so you may not be able to buy a plant as such.. can't open your link as I am at work There are a number of pink opium type poppies available, it may be one of those

just checked it is an opium poppy you may have trouble getting the seeds as it is listed as 'high yield' so it is grown for the drug rather than flowers not listed under the Afghan sunset name as far as I can see by uk seed companies
