Plant Features
Orange Scarlet Papaver Plant is an Oriental or Chinese Poppy cultivar. Its blossoms are large and open wide to reveal a dark, frilly eye that emerges from a green base and which seems to have splashed blackish-purple ink onto each of its inner petals. The blossoms of this Poppy are a remarkably brilliant shade of reddish-orange and open so wide as to almost appear completely flat, like a saucer. The color is sure to draw attention! Each 3-inch pot contains one Orange Scarlet Papaver plant.
