Papaver orientale Burning Heart

Start the perennial growing season early with this showstopping Oriental Poppy. Burning Heart is an early riser, making its appearance in late spring before most perennials and annuals emerge. The large, saucer-shaped blooms are reddish pink with red basal blotches and dark centers. Strong stems keep the flowers upright and visible to passing pollinators. Plant in full-sun borders, beds and cutting gardens. Easy to grow.
