Description

The 'Clochard' Oriental poppy is an original variety with large double and toothed tea rose flowers marked with black macules.

In late spring, crumpled flowers bloom.

Excellent transitional plant for flower beds, the 'Clochard' Oriental poppy blooms during a dormant period (after spring flowering and before summer flowering). It pairs well with small, airy flowers like sea kale or baby's breath, or with spike perennials like toadflax.

Oriental poppies are excellent perennial plants for flower beds. Behind their large flowers with crumpled petals lies a very robust plant capable of thriving in poor, rocky, and dry soils in summer. After abundant flowering in late spring, the poppy dries up, first the flower stalks, which can be used in dried bouquets, and then the leaves.

It completely disappears and goes dormant in the heart of summer, and re-emerges in autumn to bloom again as soon as the temperatures become milder. 

Its only fear is winter moisture; in heavy soils, the solution is to replace clay soil with pure sand in the planting hole.

Planting and care

Perennial poppies thrive in full sun and grow in any well-drained garden soil. In heavy and clayey soils, you will plant your poppy in a hole filled with pure sand in a volume equivalent to 3 times that of the pot. Trim faded flower stems and clean up old foliage during the summer, but be careful! Wear gloves as the plant secretes toxic white latex that can cause serious burns if it comes into contact with the eyes!
