Description
- Deep red-purple ruffled flowers
- Gorgeous colour in late spring and early summr
- Great for cutting
- Popular with pollinators
Bearing deep red-purple ruffled flowers on tall stems in late spring and early summer, Oriental poppy ‘Patty’s Plum’ looks fabulous in a sunny border, combining beautifully with grasses and silver-leaved plants. Each plant produces several flowers, giving a stunning display of these exotic-looking blooms. Bees and other pollinators love the pollen-rich flowers, and they’re excellent for cutting.
How you will receive your plants
Your bare root plants will arrive at your door at the right time for planting. Unpack them straight away and plant as soon as possible after delivery.
Can’t plant straight away?
If you can’t plant right away, keep the plants in their packaging in a cool dark place. We recommended you aim to plant them within seven days.
Planting tips and hints:
Before planting bare root plants, soak the roots in water for an hour to rehydrate them.
Planting in containers: If there is still a risk of frost, pot up bare root perennials in pots filled with multipurpose compost. Water and leave in a greenhouse or cold frame until spring, then harden off and plant out once the soil has warmed up.
Planting in the ground: Once the soil has warmed up in spring, bare root perennials can be planted directly in the ground. Dig a hole big enough to allow the roots to spread out, then create a mound at the bottom of the hole and rest the perennial on this so that its roots spread over the mound. The crown of the perennial (where the stem starts) should be level with or just below ground level. Backfill and water in to settle the soil.
Feeding and aftercare: Stake the plants to prevent them sprawling. Cutting back after flowering may produce a second flush of flowers.
