Growing and Maintenance Tips
Poppies are gorgeous when in bloom but, after flowering, the foliage goes brown and then disappears. They must be planted with companion perennials like Baby's Breath that will cover the hole left by the poppy. Division must be done in the fall just as the plant breaks dormancy
