Discover the breathtaking beauty of Papaver orientale, commonly known as Oriental Poppy—a clump-forming perennial native to Central Asia, thriving in USDA zones 3 through 8. These sensational flowers are famed for their massive, silky-satin blooms in vibrant shades of scarlet, orange, pink, and white, crowned with a distinctive black center. Blooming from late spring to early summer, Oriental Poppies inject bold, eye-catching color into borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial beds. Standing 2-4 feet tall with deeply divided gray-green leaves, they offer a striking foliage contrast in any garden setting.

Perfect for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, these poppies are both deer and rabbit resistant, thanks to their hairy stems and leaves. They are relatively easy to maintain, preferring well-drained soil and full sun. Hardy and drought-tolerant, Oriental Poppies provide lasting beauty when paired with late summer bloomers like daylilies or Black-eyed Susans to fill the bare space they leave behind in the garden. Ideal for mass plantings, their extraordinary blooms make wonderful cut flowers, bringing the allure of your garden indoors. Don't miss the chance to incorporate these dramatic perennials and enjoy a garden that captivates from spring through fall.
