Poppy - Coral Reef

Papaver orientale

The enchanting giant poppy Coral Reef will make anyone drop their jaw. A magical perennial that produces large, beautiful coral-colored flowers that can grow up to 10 cm in size. The silky-like leaves appear to dance when the wind blows through the flower, and are a pure delight to the eye. The stems are sturdy and robust, which makes it fantastic to have in bouquets. A tip from us at Florea is to also use the seed pods of Coral Reef, which become a beautiful and stylish addition to a bouquet. The seed pods can also be beautiful to use dried for crafts or decor.

Since the variety is recurring, it is incredible in a perennial bed or in a place where it can come back year after year to show off its beautiful coral-colored attire. It is highly appreciated by all our pollinators, and you often see bumblebees resting inside the flower.

(This variety should not be eaten as it may be poisonous)
