Oriental Poppies © 
Papaver orientale 
Oriental Poppies enjoy great popularity 
on account of their showy appearance in 
the garden. They also are good for cutting 
if the stem end is seared in a flame for 
about five seconds before being placed in 
water. Sow during early summer in a 
special seed bed where the plants can 
remain until fall of the following year. They 
are not difficult to transplant during late 
summer and fall when the foliage has 
disappeared. We offer a number of splen- 
did varieties.
