Papaver, Oriental Poppy - Picotee - Two-tone elegance, reliable for cottage borders - Bare root - 1 pc

The two-tone flowers of Oriental poppy 'Picotee' bring a light, delicate touch to borders. The petals, in snowy tones blended with salmon pink, are finished with a subtle frill, while the strongly contrasting dark centre clearly highlights the pattern. The large flower heads rise above a clump of feathery, lightly hairy leaves, so they stand out well among other perennial species. This variety is particularly well suited to informal plantings, where its pale colouring effectively brightens the garden space.
