Poppy 'Rococo' - Bare Root

Papaver orientale ‘Rococo’ (bare root)  

The giant poppy ‘Rococo’ is an exquisitely beautiful perennial that adds rich, vibrant colour to borders and plantings. Its large salmon-pink flowers with dark blotches at the centre create a dramatic focal point, rising on sturdy stems above finely divided, silvery-green foliage.

Height: 50–100 cm  
Growth habit: Deeply lobed, hairy leaves that die back after flowering (applies to all oriental poppies). The seed pods are attractive when dried and in arrangements.
Flowering time: June–August
Position: Full sun in well-drained, light soil. Drought tolerant.
Planting distance: 35 cm
Other: Deer resistant and slug resistant. Attracts butterflies and pollinators.

Important - The bare-root plant should be planted as soon as possible after you bring it home, as the roots are sensitive to drying out. If the ground is frozen, you can plant it in a pot and place it in a bright, cool location. It also works well to keep the roots in the bag. Lightly mist the roots and store the bag in a cool, dark place.
