Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

A semi-dwarf oriental poppy, Poppy ‘Pizzicato’ won’t flop over its neighbours and is more weather-resistant than its taller cousins. Despite its small stature, it still boasts large, ruffled blooms up to 15cm across, each plant carrying up to 20 sturdy flower stems. The flowers span a wide colour range with shades of white, pink, scarlet, salmon, orange and mauve all marked with a signature dark blotch at the base of the petals. With their distinctive silky blooms, oriental poppies launch onto the late spring and early summer scene with a flamboyant burst of colour. The decorative seed pods continue to provide interest long after the flowers have faded. Fleuroselect Gold Medal Winner. Height and Spread: 50cm (20in).

When growing Oriental Poppies, choose a sunny position in rich fertile, well drained soil. Add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting, mixing it thoroughly and deeply.

Deadhead faded poppy flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. Cut back old foliage to ground level in autumn. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of Oriental poppy in spring.
