Oriental Poppy Seeds – Hardy Perennial with Scarlet Blooms for Cool-Season Gardens

Oriental Poppy Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds produce a dramatic, long-lived perennial prized for its bold flowers and cool-season performance. This classic garden poppy features large, showy blooms measuring 3–4 inches across, with brilliant scarlet petals and deep purple-black centers that stand out in beds and borders.

Adapted to cooler temperatures, Oriental Poppies bloom in late spring to early summer and may go dormant during periods of intense heat. This dormancy is a natural part of the plant’s life cycle, and growth typically resumes as temperatures cool again in autumn. Their seasonal rhythm allows them to provide color when many other perennials are just emerging or beginning to fade.

Rising above soft, silver-green foliage, the elegant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Oriental Poppies are best suited for perennial borders, cottage gardens, and mixed flower beds where their striking blooms can take center stage.

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow Oriental poppy seeds on the soil surface and gently press them in, as light aids germination. Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Keep soil moist during establishment. Expect plants to bloom in cooler seasons and go dormant during summer heat. Avoid disturbing roots once established, as poppies prefer to remain undisturbed.
