To begin with they do not come true from seed so packets of seed would not be available.
As far as I can see when we go out Garden Centering, almost every one of them has it for sale.

Try ebay, under perennial plants.

You are lucky Owdboggy, garden centres here dont have ANY oriental poppies....its so frustrating, any gardening companies i tried on the internet had high postage charges and some of them had surcharges of maybe £15 on top to send to N Ireland addresses..

I've just checked the GoY Garden centre. If you click on plants, then P for Papaver, I think you'll find what you're looking for. It isn't named, but it looks very much like Patty's Plum to me.

Hi..Bbb, tried the GOY Garden Centre....Yes there she was 'patty's plum'...I went through the entire process of sending for her from 'Crocus'..then discovered that 'crocus' dont send overseas...N Ireland, Isle of Man etc.....but thank you for trying for me.....
