Lavender-pink flowers with dark basal blotches and purple stamens rise above the finely divided, silvery green foliage of Papaver orientale Central Park. The large, cup-shaped flowers give a sunny early-summer border a clear focal point and provide substantial stems for cutting.
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, with about 55 centimeters between plant centers. Water while buds and flowers develop, then reduce irrigation as the foliage enters its normal summer dormancy. A spring application of slow-release fertilizer or compost is enough for this low-maintenance perennial.
Ornamental capsules can remain after flowering for continued garden detail. The plant contains alkaloids and is toxic if eaten; keep cut material away from grazing animals.
