Oriental Poppies provide a cheerful display of huge, satiny flowers in late spring and early summer. Plants form a low clump of coarse, hairy leaves, and usually go dormant, disappearing completely by late summer. Because they disappear in summer, plant something beside Oriental Poppies that will get bushy later in the season, such as Rudbeckia, Russian Sage, or fall-flowering grasses. Orientale Poppies grow well in full sun, normal to sandy soil and is drought tolerant, but appreciates moderate water. Will grow 18-24 inches tall. They are deer and rabbit resistant
