Use and Care Manual

Oriental poppies (Papaver) are long used by gardeners in a

range of landscape situations. Planting poppies is simple and

rewarding when their blooms appear. The clumps will become

larger each year but will never be invasive. They can be forced

indoors with special treatment. They also make for stunning

cut ﬂowers, but you will have to sear the ends of freshly

cut stems with a match. As they have appeared on ravaged

battleﬁelds, they have come to symbolize death and rebirth.

About This Variety: Some poppy varieties must be divided to multiple and grow more off over time. While others can simply be grown from seed. This standard poppy grows from seed and thus is an incredible value, but is anything but standard. The blooms are large, bright and are among the most popular poppies available.
