in water appreciably longer than the older varieties.

SOIL CONDITIONS FOR ORIENTAL POPPIES 
They will thrive and prosper in any good garden soil, whether it be sandy, clay, 
loam, or even heavy clay. However, they dislike having water stand over them 
for any prolonged period, or even where the water level is as close as six inches 
from the surface of the ground. They do not seem to be particular as to lime 
or acid soils, nor should they have any strong fertilizer in any form. Leaf mold 
seems to be their favorite source of food.
