Hardy Perennial 
Oriental Poppies 
Oriental Poppies should be sown in early spring in the open 
ground as soon as it is fit to work. The plants disappear during 
July and August, appearing again as soon as the weather gets 
cool. When this fall growth starts is the time they should be 
transplanted to their permanent flowering quarters. It is well 
to mark the places they are planted with a stake to insure the 
roots against disturbance during their annual resting period.
