Poppy Papaver orientale 'Turkenlouis'
Poppy Papaver orientale 'Turkenlouis'


 
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 mid-sized selection features fiery scarlet-red flowers with fringed edges. Because they disappear in summer, place 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. Flowers are good for cutting, picked just as the buds begin to open.

Blooms late spring to early summer.

Winter hardy, deer resistant, cut flower
