Papaver orientale ‘Brilliant’


Oriental Poppy

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.401.450


Oriental Poppies provide a cheerful display of huge, satiny flowers in late spring and early summer. Plants form a low clump of coarse, hairy leaves, and usually go dormant, disappearing completely by late summer. This strain has fiery scarlet-red blooms, with a black centre. Because they disappear in summer, plant something beside Oriental Poppies that will get bushy later in the season, such as Rudbeckia, Russian Sage, or fall-flowering grasses. Divide in August to September.
