Springhill Nursery - Poppy, Brilliant

For dramatic brightness, nothing rivals the flamboyant Oriental Poppy. In late spring and early summer, when many bulbs have faded and summer perennials have yet to appear, the large flowers of the Oriental poppy create bright spots of color framed by attractive foliage. A fantastic show! And that's not all--ask any professional florist and he'll tell you the dried pods left behind after blooming are perfect for adding interest to dried flower arrangements. These brilliant beacons of spectacular color spread 18-36" to add an element of drama to an perennial garden, bed or border. The big 4-8" ruffled flowers appear in late spring and early summer atop 2-4' stems creating eye-catching beauty.
