Papaver Pizzicato (Poppy) | Tray of 40 Plug Plants

Poppies never fail to bring joy to any cottage garden display. The pretty papery looking cup shaped petals pop open from tight buds atop strong hairy stems giving a zing of colour to early summer borders. The clumps of deeply serrated foliage are grey-green making a perfect foil to the bright frothy flowers. Papaver Pizzicato also make good cutting flowers.

The plants prefer an open sunny situation throughout the day but can tolerate some shade too.
Flowers May-June. Height 40cms. Good as a cutting flower. Not scented.

Brand:  Brookside Nursery
Botanical name:  Papaver orientale
