Poppy Oriental Mix Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perPapaver orientale
Oriental Mixed is a spectacular hardy perennial Poppy producing large, papery flowers in a rich mixture of coral, tangerine, orange and crimson. The dramatic blooms are carried on tall stems above deeply divided foliage, creating a striking display through late spring and early summer.
Once established, Oriental Poppies are remarkably tough and long-lived, returning year after year in suitable climates. Their bold flowers make an impressive feature in cottage gardens, perennial borders and mass plantings, while the open blooms provide pollen for bees and other pollinating insects.
Plants prefer full sun and free-draining soil and develop good drought tolerance once established. Oriental Poppies perform particularly well in cooler and temperate climates and may become dormant after flowering, with foliage dying back before returning with cooler conditions.
Approximately 1,800 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Generally not suited to tropical climates
Subtropics: Autumn to winter in cooler areas
Mild climates: Autumn to spring
Cold climates: Spring or autumn
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow or into individual pots to minimise root disturbance. Scatter the fine seed over prepared soil and press gently onto the surface, covering only very lightly.
Keep moist during germination and thin seedlings carefully once established. Choose a permanent position in full sun with excellent drainage, as Oriental Poppies develop a substantial taproot and dislike being disturbed once established.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
