Oriental Papaver 'Waltzing Elisabeth' – Hardy Perennial Poppy Plant
Papaver orientale 'Waltzing Elisabeth' is a stunning Oriental Poppy that produces large, ruffled, semi-double flowers in soft salmon-pink tones with delicately crepe-textured petals. Each bloom opens from distinctive hairy buds and sits atop tall, wiry stems, creating an eye-catching display in late spring and early summer. As a fully hardy herbaceous perennial, this poppy will return year after year, establishing a stronger clump with each season.
Oriental Poppies are among the most spectacular of all garden perennials. After flowering, the foliage dies back naturally before re-emerging in autumn as a fresh rosette of deeply cut, bristly leaves. 'Waltzing Elisabeth' is valued for its elegant colour and generous flower size, making it a wonderful addition to cottage gardens, herbaceous borders, and mixed planting schemes.
What's Included:
- 1 x Papaver orientale 'Waltzing Elisabeth' supplied as a well-established plant in a 3 litre pot (19cm root ball)
Planting & Care Tips:
- Plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil – Oriental Poppies dislike waterlogged conditions
- Incorporate grit or organic matter into heavy soils to improve drainage
- Water well after planting and during prolonged dry spells while establishing
- Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering – fresh growth will appear in autumn
- Avoid disturbing established plants as they develop a deep taproot
- A mulch of well-rotted compost in autumn helps to protect the crown over winter
