Description

The Oriental poppy 'Türkenlouis' is an original variety with large double and serrated red flowers.

In late spring, crumpled flowers bloom.

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

Oriental poppies are excellent perennial plants for flower beds. Behind their large crumpled petals, hides 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, starting with the flower stalks, which can be used in dried bouquets, and then the leaves.

It completely disappears to enter dormancy in the middle of summer and reemerges in autumn to bloom again as soon as the temperatures become milder. 

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

Planting and care

The perennial poppies appreciate full sun and they 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. Cut the faded flower stalks and clean up the old foliage during the summer, but be careful! Wear gloves because the white latex secreted by the plant is toxic and can cause serious burns if it comes into contact with the eyes!
