Description
32-36" tall x 24" wide (seed propagated). 'Brilliant' Oriental Poppy is a scarlet-orange flower made famous by New Mexico artist Georgia O'Keeffe's beautiful paintings from the 1930s. And no wonder: spring in Santa Fe brings with it drifts of Brilliant Oriental Poppies blooming all over town. Papaver orientale Brilliant will go dormant in summer, so mix these plants into the middle of perennial beds with other tall growing perennials to cover up the browning foliage. Grows well in most soil types including clay. This oriental poppy is an outstanding seed grown variety.

Gorgeous!
"I am in love with poppies! This is such a beautiful flower and grows really well in my hot summers and cold snowy winters. They do go dormant in the summer but come back reliably in the fall with new growth and take off in the spring. I am amazed at how many blooms I have and this was planted mid spring 2024. I would highly recommend this. #sweepstakes"
Good Poppies
"I was skeptical about planting tiny plants in the fall, but I followed your instructions and they all came through a cold winter just fine. Now they're all blooming except for one which seems rather flimsy, it's still alive so it may not be happy where I planted it."
Great product
"This is the first poppy that has come back the next year. Unfortunately I can't attest to the beauty of the poppy as the dratted deer ate the plant before it could bloom: Even though the plant had wire mesh around it. GRRR"
they bloomed!
"I was so excited to see them bloom this year. I was told they bloomed last year alo, but missed it, since I was out of town"
Gorgeous and big blooms!
"Gorgeous blooms. I planted one of these last fall and it bloomed gorgeously this summer. Big, beautiful blooms - but they only lasted about 4-5 days, the pedals blew off in the wind. I was so sad! I'll be hopeful they may do better next year."
Don't want to live without this in the garden
"This has got to be one of my all time favorite plants in the garden. Adds a pop of brilliant color and one of the earliest bloomers in the garden. First year didn't produce many flowers but second year is loaded with flowers so much so I needed to provide a peony support to hold the weight of the enormous flower heads up. It survives drought and wet conditions and prefers a mostly sunny location that also provides shade from the hot summer sun."
poppies
"hasn't bloomed yet. Slow grower. 1 of 3 plants very weak and small."
Beautiful
"These are so beautiful planted in front of my white fence. The only downside is that they don't last throughout the summer!"
Beautiful. Love these. Had to get more colors!!
"Originally got the orange and had to order the pink the next year because of the beauty. Each plant has grown larger each season and with that produces more flowers. We look forward to seeing these every year now. Will probably get more."
Gigantic and eye catching
"These plants really require patience and grace for the first two or even three growing seasons! They look like weeds such as thistles, and they take often years after being planted to produce their first bloom. I think of them as the fruit trees of the flower world for this reason ;-) Then when they start making their strange, science-fiction looking buds and huge, unrealistically gorgeous flowers, it is so exciting and suddenly becomes worth the wait! Oriental poppies can easily live 30 years in the garden with no extra care once established. I am a poppy enthusiast and enjoy both annual re-seeding and perennial varieties. As a result, I have the typical Memorial Day red Flanders annual poppies, as well as these perennial oriental poppies. Having them both in the garden really highlights how much larger, more full and 3-D the perennials are. They are like the queen bee next to the much smaller worker bee ;-)"
