I have seen a variety of colours going under the label Patty's Plum!


So have I ; all of them (in Scotland) so muddy and dull I still can't
work out why people rave about it.

I have wondered if soil type or temperature significantly affects the
colour.

We wondered if it was because it was such a popular poppy that some were
being sold under the name because of the popularity!
I have seen some stunning correct plants but also some disappointing
murky ones! I am sure Sacha sells only the correct one
