Discover the breathtaking beauty of Papaver orientale 'Prince of Orange', a stunning perennial renowned for its vibrant, tangerine-orange blooms that captivate any garden. These Oriental Poppies flaunt magnificent, crepe-like petals with a satin finish, making them a showstopper in late spring to early summer. Each flower, spanning 4-6 inches, boasts a velvety-black seed capsule accented by striking dark purple stamens at its center. Growing up to 30 inches tall, with a spread of 18-24 inches, their commanding presence is perfect for borders, cottage gardens, or as a specimen plant.
Basking in full sun to light shade, 'Prince of Orange' thrives in rich, well-drained soils, resisting deer and rabbits while attracting hummingbirds. As the flowering season ends, these undemanding poppies enter dormancy, thus pairing them with plants like Baby's Breath or Russian Sage fills any void. Ideal for cut, dried, or simply admired floral arrangements, this virtually care-free plant brings long-lived beauty with minimal fuss. Embrace the allure of this garden gem and plant in fall or spring for years of spectacular displays.
