Product Description
Papaver orientale 'Beauty of Livermore' (30)ct Flat
Common name: Oriental Poppy.
Deep, oxblood-red blooms are borne on wiry, pubescent stems from late spring thru early summer. This is one of the finest reds available. Its petals have a crepe-like appearance and a satiny texture. Each flower can measure 4 to 6 inches across. In the center of a poppy's flower rests a very large, velvety-black seed capsule surrounded by prominent, dark purple stamens.
After the bloom cycle is completed, foliage yellows and dies as perennial goes dormant. New leaves appear in fall and overwinter until spring when the foliage puts on growth until flowers bloom again.
