Availability: In stock
Few perennials make a statement quite like Papaver orientale ‘Allegro’, a spectacular Oriental Poppy renowned for its large, brilliant orange-red blooms that demand attention. These silky flowers are borne on decorative, deeply cut foliage, providing conspicuous colour for herbaceous borders and a wide range of garden situations. Flowering in late spring to early summer, each dramatic bloom creates an unforgettable splash of fiery colour that instantly lifts the planting scheme.
Reaching an impressive height & spread of 90cm x 60cm (3ft x 2ft), ‘Allegro’ forms a strong, upright clump that adds structure to gardens. It will flourish in well-drained soil in a sunny position, where the blooms shine brightest, and the plant performs at its best. Ideal for cottage gardens and mixed perennial beds, this striking poppy pairs beautifully with early summer Iris, Nepeta, or ornamental grasses to create a dynamic contrast. Easy to grow and reliably hardy, ‘Allegro’ delivers bold, unforgettable colour year after year.
