Oriental Poppy - Royal Wedding

$9.95

The Oriental Poppy 'Royal Wedding', Papaver orientale, has large satiny white flowers with a black eye. This is the white Poppy to top them all! Each enormous, pure white bloom is accentuated by a deep black eye and framed by large, textured foliage. A show stopper in any garden. This is a fine selection of the most outstanding new hybrid Oriental Poppy varieties. The flowers are huge and brightly colored with velvety fringed and frilled petals. They are fully double with bold markings and designs.

These hybrid poppies bloom in May and June each year on vigorous plants about 3' tall. They are truly spectacular. Plant them in groups or in the perennial border and you will enjoy them for a lifetime. They do well in the sun or slight shade in well drained soil. Plant 15-18" apart. Royal Wedding are best used as cut flowers, as a border plant and as underplantings to larger, late flowering perennials. They do go dormant in July or August, and the foliage will die back completely to the ground. Avoid planting in wide open spaces.
