How to identify Oriental poppy (Papaver orientale)
Oriental poppy features striking large, cup-shaped blossoms that can be up to 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter and come in vibrant hues of orange, red, and pink with pronounced black centers. The blooms are showcased in early summer, from June to July. Its foliage consists of finely cut, gray-green leaves that have a delicate, feathery appearance. After the flowering period, the foliage recedes, and a basal rosette of leaves persists through the cooler months. This perennial typically reaches heights of 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm).
Large, cup-shaped blossoms up to 6 inches (15 cm) in vibrant orange, red, and pink hues.
Distinctive black or purple center in 4-6 inch (10-15 cm) silky-smooth flowers.
Dry, papery capsule with dark seeds, 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) long, contrasting with bright blooms.
Gray-green, pinnately dissected leaves with hairy texture, 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) long.
Basal rosette of persisting leaves after flowering, reaching 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) in height.
The leaves of oriental poppy are gray-green, predominantly found at the base of the plant. They exhibit a pinnately dissected pattern, resembling those of a thistle. The leaves are hairy, contributing to a slightly rough texture. Each leaf typically measures around 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) in length. The intricate dissection creates multiple lobes, enhancing their distinctive, divided appearance.
The flowers of oriental poppy bloom in late spring or early summer and are known for their striking appearance. These showy flowers are 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in diameter and feature a distinctive black or purple center, which stands out against the brightly colored petals. The petals are silky-smooth and come in shades of pink, red, white, or orange, arranged in a simple, open structure that attracts pollinators. The flowers typically do not have a strong scent.
The fruit of oriental poppy is a capsule that forms after the plant's vibrant flowers fade. When ripe, typically from July to August, it is an elongated, egg-shaped structure, roughly 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) long. The dried capsule is crowned with a disc-like stigma and contains numerous tiny, dark seeds. The texture of the mature fruit is dry and papery, often splitting open with pores beneath the disc to release seeds. It is tan to brown in color, contrasting with the plant's earlier floral display.
