Oriental poppies are among the most popular poppies available. The colors of the named varieties range all the way from silvery white, through blush and rose pink to salmon and scarlet-crimson, each flower swaying and nodding on long, graceful stems. The Oriental Poppy blooms during May and June, grows from 2 1/2 feet to 4 feet high and the whole plant, from the heavy, magnificent foliage to the large flower cups and seed pods, makes a majestic subject.
