Oriental Poppy 'Plum Pudding', Poppy 'Plum Pudding'
Blooming longer than most Oriental Poppies, ‘Plum Pudding’ (Papaver orientale) features large, crepe papery, cup-shaped, rich plum pink flowers with a dark eye and black splotches at their base. Borne on strong stems in early summer, the long-lasting flowers do not fade unattractively or flop. They may rebloom in late summer in some climates. Compact and robust, the sumptuous blossoms of ‘Plum Pudding’ will steal the show and draw attention when planted in small groups.
