Oriental poppies dislike waterlogged conditions, so ensure good drainage, particularly over winter. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and require minimal maintenance. After flowering, the foliage may die back; trim spent flower stems and old foliage to encourage a tidy appearance. A light mulch in autumn can help protect the crown during colder months. Avoid disturbing established plants, as they develop a deep taproot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes:\u003c\/b\u003e Available in Victoria Louise, a beautiful salmon-pink flowering variety within the Garden Gnome series of dwarf oriental poppies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verdant living","offers":[{"title":"3 Plants","offer_id":50025812328668,"sku":"COL-1L-PAP-GAR-GNOX3","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 Plants","offer_id":50025812361436,"sku":"COL-1L-PAP-GAR-GNOX6","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_b272b921-28c8-45d7-9f4e-3d4e29ce924b.png?v=1776387687","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-1l-pap-gar-gno","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
