Papaver orientale is a clump-forming perennial with large, cup-shaped flowers and hairy, divided leaves.
Flowers and foliage
The foliage dies back after flowering and a basal rosette returns later, leaving a seasonal gap rather than a permanent leafy mound. Its deep root needs good drainage; seed offspring do not always reproduce a named plant’s exact flower colour.
Named selections and seed mixtures
Beauty of Livermere, Princess Victoria Louise and Mixed are distinct seed references for resellers.
