Oriental Poppy Red (Papaver orientale)

The large, bright red flowers look particularly beautiful in group plantings and in front of groups of trees. The oriental giant poppy is also suitable as a cut flower, but the best time to cut should be considered, for example when the buds begin to burst. The seed capsules can be used for dry binding.
