Delight in the beauty of Papaver Red Rumble, a standout among perennial poppies. If you’re looking to infuse your garden with garden ready plants, this one promises a blend of durability and vibrant aesthetics.
Description: Papaver Red Rumble reaches up to 90cm in height and boasts bristly stems. Its finely divided, dark green leaves are uniquely adorned with silvery hairs. As summer approaches, anticipate the emergence of pendent buds that eventually straighten and unfurl. By early to mid-summer, these buds bloom into large, bowl-shaped, orange-red flowers, each spanning up to 15cm across. A subtle yet captivating feature of these flowers is the small purple-black blotches that grace the base of the petals, adding depth to their appearance.
Care Instructions:
Watering: Provide consistent moisture but avoid waterlogged conditions.
Proper drainage is key. Soil: It thrives in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
Fertilisation: A spring application of a general-purpose fertiliser encourages robust growth.
Pruning: Remove faded flowers to stimulate further blooms and keep the plant tidy.
Pests & Diseases: Monitor for aphids and caterpillars. Ensure well-draining soil to prevent poppy root rot. Winter Care: While it’s hardy, shielding younger plants from intense winter frosts is advised.
