Papaver ‘Nana Allegro’

Description

‘Nana Allegro’ is a fantastic dwarf Oriental Poppy that delivers all the dramatic impact of larger varieties but on a much shorter, more compact frame. It produces enormous, bowl-shaped, brilliant scarlet-red flowers with prominent black blotches at the base of each delicate, papery petal, creating an incredibly striking contrast.

It requires full sun and thrives in almost any garden soil provided it drains freely. After the brilliant red flowers fade and the decorative seed heads mature, the foliage will yellow and die back completely; resist the urge to water the bare patch, as the dormant roots require a dry resting period.
