Oriental Poppies iPapaver orientate) 



Oriental Poppies can be sown any time during the summer and 

 early autumn. 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.
