Oriental Poppy
Zone 3 - 9
Soft pink flowers with a near black centre and stamens. HEIGHT: 50-80 cm SPREAD: 50-60 cm
Glorious, dramatic and ephemeral. Enormous satiny, crepe-like blooms early in the summer. Long lived and very hardy, unfortunately the blooms do not last very long. Grow these very showy plants in full sun and well-drained soil. After flowering the foliage will die back and the plant will completely retreat underground until the coolness of fall brings a small new flush of foliage. Plant a bushy perennial in front of your poppy to camouflage its disappearance.
