Oriental poppies add a dramatic touch to your garden with their large, vibrant flowers.. Here's what you need to know about these beautiful flowers :
Description of the Oriental Poppy :
Oriental poppy (Papaver orientale) is a perennial plant that can reach about one meter in height. It is distinguished by its large flowers, the most imposing of the entire poppy family.
Undemanding in terms of soil and maintenance, the oriental poppy is an ideal choice to beautify the sunny parts of your garden in spring and summer.. It is often used to beautifully color flowerbeds, borders, slopes or rockeries.
Hardy to -20 to -30°C, this plant thrives on poor, stony, chalky soils, but can also thrive in richer soils, as long as they are well drained.. Be careful to avoid excessively wet floors.
The Oriental poppy prefers sunny, open locations for optimal growth.
Culture Tips :
Sow oriental poppy seeds in well-drained, deep soil, ideally in autumn or early spring.
Make sure to choose a sunny location for your Oriental poppy to encourage abundant and colorful flowering.
The seeds can be sown directly into the ground to a depth of a few millimeters, then covered lightly with soil.
Avoid overwatering Oriental poppy plants, as they prefer slightly dry soil.
