Papaver Orientalis. Perennial Flowers. Beautiful bright orange blooms on tall sturdy stems. Papaver Orientale is one of the prime parents in the evolution of the Oriental Poppies of gardens today. The oriental Poppies are the most accommodating garden plants, vigorous and free flowing and succeeding on light or heavy garden soils, indeed any soil, provided that it is not waterlogged. Bold and brashy, they will make a spectacular feature in your garden! Delicate tissue-like blooms up to 5 inches across perform a mystical dance in the winds of your garden. Simply beautiful. For dramatic brightness, nothing rivals the flamboyant Oriental Poppy. In late spring and early summer, when many bulbs have faded and summer perennials have yet to appear, the large flowers of the Oriental poppy create bright spots of color framed by attractive foliage. A fantastic show! These brilliant beacons of spectacular color spread 18-36" to add an element of drama to a perennial garden, bed or border. The big 4-8" ruffled flowers appear in late spring and early summer atop 2-4' stems creating eye-catching beauty. Plant in Spring or Fall.
