Papaver Rupifragum 'Orange Feathers'

Description

This sumptuous, many-stemmed, double-flowered, long-lived perennial, bears an endless succession of frilly, many-petalled terracotta-orange flowers. Botanically this is Papaver rupifragum 'Flore Pleno', but we feel "Orange Feathers" is less of a mouthful!

Sowing Advice

Sow immediately at any time onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth. Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
