  A magnificent profusion of pinkishness, 'Pink Perfection' is a stunning mid-pink, oriental poppy with slightly ruffled, papery petals loosely arranged around a darker centre and purple, almost black, stamens. Surrounded by deeply divided and slightly hairy foliage, this herbaceous perennial is also excellent for pollinators.
