Oriental Poppy 'Manhattan'

A sheik beauty with a double layer of ruffled petals in a unique violet rose shade. A strong variety with excellent rebloom potential. If you have blue Salvias or Catmints, this is a perfect partner.

Poppies are great garden additions. They have low growing foliage and an abundance of tall stems. They are long lived and fanciful from bud to bloom and even the seed pods are something to cherish. They are dry tolerant once established, great for picking, frost hardy and low maintenance. Bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects love these blooms too.

Plant Oriental Poppy 'Manhattan’ in moderately fertile to humus rich, moist, well drained soil for best flowers. Grow in full sun to light shade, they need six or so hours to flower well. Keep moist in active growth for best blooms. They can go dormant in summer to avoid the heat, coming back in the cool of autumn. They have no issue with frost.
