Description
(28-32” tall x 24” wide) 'Coral Reef' Oriental Poppy quickly emerges from dormancy in early spring and delivers a stunning feature only a few short weeks later. The large 6” flowers bloom in late spring with an enchanting warm pink with deep purple-black stamens, which look fabulous in vases and attract pollinators. Gardeners will appreciate those blossoms in the border or in the vase. Plant 'Coral Reef' Oriental Poppy in full sun or part shade in fertile, well-drained soils. Deer and rabbit resistant for worry-free gardening. Oriental Poppies are long-lived, and establish a deep taproot, which can be temperamental if you choose to move them mid-season - although pieces of root left after a move may result in a new plant next season. To take advantage of the long-lasting blooms as cut flowers, boil the bottom of the cut stems in water before putting in a vase to thwart the milky sap which stops water uptake. Plants will go dormant in mid-summer, so consider planting them near summer stunners that need a little time to get going in the spring.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
