Large salmon-pink flowers with dark purple marks at each petal base make Papaver orientale Mrs Perry easy to recognize. The ruffled, crepe-like blooms open 4 to 6 inches across above light green, hairy, deeply lobed leaves.
This upright perennial reaches about 3 feet tall and 20 inches wide. It fills a sunny border with late-spring and early-summer color, and its long stems can be cut for arrangements. Plant it in well-drained soil with enough space for air to move around the clump.
The plant tolerates drought once established and deer tend to avoid it. Remove faded flowers after bloom, then leave the foliage in place until it turns brown. The leaves may go dormant after flowering, so nearby later-blooming perennials can occupy the surrounding border as the clump recedes.
