Description
Papaver Red Poppy are herbaceous perennials that bloom prolifically from summer to early fall, with attractive seed pods extending the season of interest. Highly ornamental, the plants set large, showy red flowers with dark blotches at the base of their crepe papery, tissue-like petals. Borne singly on long, bristly stems, the showy saucer-shaped blooms work well as cut flowers. In the garden, they attract pollinating bees and butterflies. Papaver Red Poppy have an upright, clumping habit of hairy, toothed, gray-green leaves. The clumps become larger each year but are never invasive. Papaver Red Poppy are shown to best effect when grouped or massed in borders or beds. The plants are great container plants and can be forced indoors. Papaver Red Poppy have a naturalizing tendency, meaning they multiply and spread over time, creating a captivating sea of red poppies in the garden. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also minimizes the need for replanting, making them an excellent investment for long-term garden beauty. The Papaver Red Poppy complement a wide range of other garden plants, making them versatile for companion planting. Consider pairing them with low-growing perennials or contrasting foliage to create a visually dynamic and harmonious garden landscape. Deadheading spent flowers keeps the poppy blooming and reduces unwanted self-seeding. After flowering, allow the poppies to die back (go dormant) during the summer heat, as excess watering will kill them. After the plant is established, do not disturb it, or you could lose a blooming season. Papaver Red Poppy thriving in various soil types, these flower bulbs are adaptable to different garden environments. Whether you have loamy, sandy, or clayey soil, the Papaver Red Poppy can acclimate and flourish, making them suitable for a wide range of gardening scenarios.Listed with ExportYourStore.com
