This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: July to October
  • Hardiness: frost hardy (needs winter protection)

    Papery, pure-white, poppy-like flowers with golden-yellow centres from July to October and handsome, deeply lobed, grey-green leaves. This wonderful, white tree poppy makes an excellent specimen plant for a sunny mixed border. Often slow to establish and resentful of disturbance, it requires fertile, well-drained soil, and shelter from strong winds. Can be propagated from root cuttings taken in the winter-early spring months.

  • Garden care: Cut back flower stems close to the base in March. Provide a deep dry mulch in the winter months for protection.
