Beauty of Livermere Oriental Poppy
Papaver orientale 'Beauty of Livermere'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Papaveraceae
Plant Description: Deep red flowers on sturdy stems bloom in late spring. This cultivar is characterized by a dark blotch at the base of each crepe papery petal. The foliage dies back after blooming, so hide among perennials that will later cover the browning foliage.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
