Papaver orientale 'Pink Ruffles' | Pink Ruffles Oriental Poppy
DESCRIPTION
Papaver orientale 'Pink Ruffles' is a perennial poppy that blooms in late spring to early summer, producing large, ruffled flowers in a soft salmon-pink hue. The petals are deeply fringed, giving each bloom a delicate, textured appearance. At the center of the flowers, a dark black or purple blotch provides a contrast against the soft pink petals. These blooms are held on sturdy stems, creating an elegant display in the garden.
The green, lobed foliage forms a compact base that remains attractive even after the flowers fade. As the flowers are short-lived, the foliage provides ongoing texture throughout the growing season. 'Pink Ruffles' makes a beautiful addition to borders or perennial gardens, offering both beauty and longevity. This cultivar thrives in sunny spots, where its fringed petals and soft color provide a refreshing pop of elegance.
