Papaver 'Brilliant' or Oriental Poppy is a truly show stopping perennial highly coveted for its breathtaking early summer color explosion. It forms a dense rosette of coarsely textured, finely thistle like thistle green leaves from which tall, bristly stems push upward to bear gigantic, satin textured cup shaped flowers. Painted in a blinding shade of fiery scarlet red, each crinkled bloom features a dramatic, contrasting velvet black central boss surrounded by dark purple stamens. It is an indispensable structural choice for cottage borders, meadow gardens, and high impact mixed beds.
