Oriental poppies are a favorite flower of gardeners who like to make bold statements. The large flowers bloom in brilliant shades of scarlet, orange and salmon-pink.
Oriental poppies go dormant after they finish blooming, so plant them next to late summer flowers that can take over the show when the poppies are done. Hardy in zones 3-9. Shown here with bearded iris in the background.
