Patty's Plum

Patty's Plum Poppy

Patty's Plum is a poppy originally discovered growing in a compost heap at Kingsdon Nursery Garden, Somerset, UK, by Sandra Pope of Hadspen House, Somerset, UK, who had come to work in Mrs Patricia Marrow's garden.[1] After the damson colour of the poppy was noticed, Marrow propagated it. She and Pope later came up with a name "Patty's Plum" because that is Marrow's first name, and it is typical of Marrow to describe the colour as "Plum".[2]
