Papaver, Oriental Poppy - Orientale - Fiery red, pollinator magnet - Bare root - 1 pc

The large red flowers of the Oriental poppy bring a bold, classic splash of colour to borders. The wide-open petals, with their slightly ruffled texture, resemble delicate tissue paper and contrast with the dark centre of the flower. The blooms rise above a clump of feathery, rough leaves, so the plant stands out well among other perennials. Oriental poppy is often planted in natural-style gardens and in borders, where it creates a strong colour accent.
