Thompson and Morgan Poppy Papaver Orientale Pizzicato Plant Pot 9cm

Bring bursts of vibrant colour and bold texture to your garden with compact semi-dwarf oriental poppy plants, offering ruffled blooms in a dazzling mix of shades from white to mauve and scarlet. Thriving in sunny borders or smaller spaces, these hardy perennials reach just 50cm tall but make a dramatic statement with large flowers up to 15cm across, each marked by a striking dark blotch. Expect up to twenty sturdy stems per plant, with ornamental seed pods that add interest long after the blooms fade, making them a standout choice for late spring and early summer displays. For best results, plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or well-rotted manure. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering. Cut back old foliage in autumn and divide overcrowded clumps in spring to maintain vigour. Caution: Harmful if eaten.
