Offering the gardener huge and delightful blooms year after year, Papaver Orientale is a poppy variety that should grace all gardens. Coming in a fantastic range of colors and hues, such poppies can be put to a range of uses in the garden.

And with Papaver Orientale growing well in most garden soils, it is a staple plant that no border should be without.

Producing stunningly large blooms up to five inches across, Papaver Orientale varieties grow up to three feet tall with their flower stalks rising into the air like sculptural beacons.
