The National Collection of Papaver orientale 

Papaver orientale - Our Award-winning collection 

... View our Super Poppy Range 

Of all the perennials in our collection, these are my favourite. I am overawed by 

their beauty and I never tire of studying their different shapes and form. They are 

such versatile plants looking at home in both inner city gardens and country 

residences. 

Our special collection of Papaver orientale, which numbers over 150 different 

varieties, is set in amongst mixed borders and presentation beds at our Nursery. 

We have gathered our collection from many parts of the U.K., Europe and the 

USA. These include the new and exciting R.H.S. Award of Garden Merit varieties 

of ‘Aglaja’, ‘Effendi’, ‘John III’, ‘Khedive’, and ‘Leuchtfeuer’. 

The newer varieties have been bred with care and consideration to promote 

shorter, strong sturdy stems, longer flowering upright facing blooms, and 

tolerance to our climatic changes of sun, rain and wind. There are now several 

lower height poppies (12 to 24 inches. 30 to 60cm) which are well suited to the 

small garden and which can still look very impressive in a large herbaceous 

border as a front feature plants in country homes. 

The colour combinations of the newer poppies are endless ranging from the 

purest white, palest blush pink through the colour spectrum of pink, both 

warming to salmon and cooling to old rose shades, and of course covering the 

fashion shade of plum to purple. 

For personal visitors our display beds and borders will be brimming with their 

colour during May, June and July. Many Horticultural Societies from around the 

U.K. and the continent of Europe visit us at this time of year. 

Since 2000 we have introduced new poppies that we feel are different enough 

and an improvement on the existing poppies for one reason or another example.. 

new colour breaks, lower growing height, upward facing flowers on firm stems, 

with very good form, and most importantly longer flowering season. 

Millennium 2000 releases. Brand new poppies bred in Hampshire which we think are 

stunning. Think of a mid raspberry shade mixed with a little grey and you have 

‘Raspberry Ruffles’. ‘Lauren's Lilac’ Magnificent blooms ( a x from its parent 

Patty's Plum) A ruffled large pinky red named ‘Fiesta’

2001 Saw the arrival of 

Pure White,& lovely ‘Snow Goose’ 

Large flowering warm and pale, ‘Pink Panda’ 

Oranges & Lemons 'Flamenco' from Germany 

Elegant pastel pink, water lily shaped ‘The Promise’ 

Each year we introduce more in the hopes that we fulfil the gardeners dream. 

Longer lasting flowering season, new colour breaks (I’m still searching for a Blue 

P. orientale! or to breed a Black! Listed below you will find all the poppies we 

stock.
