Description
Papaver 'Aglaya' is a beautiful Oriental Poppy with soft salmon-pink flowers, subtly tinged with a warm rosy shade. The large, ruffled blooms have a dramatic black centre, creating a striking contrast that makes this poppy stand out in any garden. Each flower has layers of silky, crepe-like petals, giving it a bold yet graceful look.
Blooming from late spring to early summer, 'Aglaya' marks the start of the growing season with its eye-catching flowers. Standing 80-90 cm tall, its strong stems rise above silvery-green, deeply divided leaves that remain attractive even after the flowers fade. This poppy is perfect for borders, where it can be the focal point, or planted with softer perennials to balance its boldness.
What makes 'Aglaya' unique is its longer bloom period, providing weeks of flowers in early summer. Its foliage is softer and less spreading than other poppies, making it a good choice for smaller spaces or more formal gardens.
'Aglaya' can also grow in light shade, unlike many other Oriental Poppies that need full sun. It attracts bees and other pollinators, adding ecological benefits to its beauty.
After blooming, the seed heads stay decorative, offering a lasting architectural element that can be used in dried arrangements.
We ship Papaver 'Aglaya' as bare root plants in spring, ready to settle into your garden. Plant them in well-draining soil with enough space to grow. With little care, this perennial will return year after year, adding beauty to your garden.
