Papaver orientale Mrs. Perry

Mrs. Perry is a very special poppy variety with the classic papier-mch texture and rich salmon-pink color. The blooms feature deep purple “thumbprints” at each petal’s base and lavish ruffles that speak volumes about the elegance of this Oriental poppy. Light green, serrated foliage acts as the perfect backdrop for the large, 4-6″ flowers that emerge in late spring and last until midsummer. Butterflies searching for nectar will find Mrs. Perry to be a treat. Perfect for borders or cutting gardens, the plants are easy to grow and drought tolerant, once established.
