Poppy Checkers (Papaver Orientale Checkers) - This beautiful flowering poppy plant will grow 24 - 36 inches tall. It prefers full sun and blooms most frequently in late spring through early summer. Plant Papaver Checkers within the perennial border, add to container planting, and makes nice companion for spring blooming bulbs. This perennial poppy has a clumping habit which results in more blooms per plant. The poppy flowers are huge and can reach 6 inches in diameter. Plant these poppy seeds in well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5 - 7.5. These flower seeds are very easy to germinate.
Common Questions
Do I need to fertilize oriental poppy?
Use a slow-release fertilizer in the spring. Be sure to follow product label directions. Another option is to side dress the soil with compost or manure tea.
Can I grow oriental poppy in a container?
Yes, however it is not ideal. These plants have a long tap root that do much better in garden soil. If containers are still something you would like to try choosing a container deep enough to handle the long tap root (terra cotta pots are best). Use quality potting mix with slow-release fertilizer, water deeply and always keep soil moist.
Do I need to winterize my oriental poppy plants?
Oriental poppies are winter hardy to USDA zone 8, they do benefit from a layer of mulch before winter sets in to protect the roots. If you are growing your flowers in a container, you can bury the container in garden soil or wrap with burlap or bubble wrap for protection. They can also be moved indoors.
Should Oriental poppies be cut back?
There's no need to trim them back, as the foliage naturally dies off after blooming. However, if you prefer a tidier look, you can cut the wilted leaves down to the ground.
Will Oriental poppies bloom in the first year?
The timing of when you plant the seeds is crucial. They require a cold period to flourish, so if you sow them in the spring, they won’t bloom until the next year.
