Papaver orientale – Patty’s Plum – 5-Pack

Description

Loose clumps of fuzzy foliage with numerous stalks of paper-like flowers.

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 wonderful selection has deep wine purple-red flowers, unlike any other. Because they disappear in summer, plant something besides Oriental Poppies that will get bushy later in the season, such as Rudbeckia, Russian Sage, or fall-flowering grasses. Clumps should be moved or divided only in late summer or fall when the leaves begin to show again. Height 28-32”. Zones 2-9.
