Papaver orientale Mix (Oriental poppy) is a rewarding perennial that instantly adds atmosphere to the garden with its large, striking flowers in various colours. This mix consists of harmonious shades of Oriental poppies that beautifully complement each other (colours may vary). Papaver orientale performs excellently in borders and combines well with other perennials and ornamental grasses. The plants bloom abundantly in June and July and are highly attractive to bees, bringing extra life to the garden. The bare-root plants can be planted from March through May. Care Papaver orientale (Oriental poppy) grows best in sandy soil or light clay soil with good drainage. Choose a sunny position, preferably sheltered from strong winds, as the large flowers have delicate, thin petals. Water moderately and avoid prolonged wet conditions. After flowering, seed pods form; removing these in time can help extend the flowering period. Keep in mind that Papaver orientale is a perennial that may partially die back after flowering before sprouting again later. Size This set consists of 10 Papaver orientale plants supplied as bare-root stock. As a natural product, root size and development may vary per plant without affecting growth performance.
