Papaver orientale ‘Bolero’


Oriental Poppy

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.401.350


Oriental Poppies provide a cheerful display of huge, satiny flowers in late spring and early summer. They form low a low mound of coarse, hairy leaves, and usually go dormant, disappearing completely by late summer. This selection features frilly, raspberry pink, cup-shaped flowers splotched with black. 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/September. Excellent for cutting, when picked just as the buds open.
