Clearly very tasty as the 2 ordered ones were immediately eaten by slugs. Sniff.

Description

Oriental poppy 'Karine' is, for us, the most beautiful of poppies with its soft pale-pink colour and its simple flowers. It embodies all the charm of an English garden.

An excellent transitional plant for flower beds, 'Karine' blooms during a quiet period in the garden (after spring blooms and before summer ones). It pairs very well with delicate flowers like sea kale or baby's breath, or with perennial plants bearing spikes like toadflax.

Oriental poppies are excellent perennial plants for flower beds. A very robust plant hides behind their large crumpled petals, capable of thriving in poor, rocky, and dry soils in summer. After abundant flowering in late spring, the poppy dries up. The stalks can then be used to create dried bouquets.

 

It completely disappears to enter dormancy in the heart of summer and reemerges in autumn to bloom a second time as soon as the temperatures become milder.

Its only fear is winter humidity. In heavy soils, replace the clay soil with pure sand in the planting hole.

Planting and care

Perennial poppies thrive in full sun and grow in any well-drained garden soil. In heavy and clayey soils, plant your poppy in a hole filled with pure sand in a volume equivalent to 3 times that of the root ball. Cut the faded flower stalks and remove the old foliage during the summer, but be careful! Wear gloves as the white latex secreted by the plant is toxic and can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with the eyes!
