Beautiful large, papery, salmon pink flowers with contrasting deep purple centres in late spring and early summer, over lush silvery green explosions of foliage, make this oriental poppy a very attractive addition to the garden for both us and for pollinators. Suitable for many different garden styles, particularly the English cottage garden, it will grow well in pots, in borders, and in gravel or prairie gardens, as long as it gets a good amount of sunshine with moist but well drained soil. Fully hardy, once established ,this perennial plant can grow between 50 and 100 cm tall and wide.
