Papaver orientale 'Glowing Amber' - 2026

Papaver orientale ‘Glowing Amber’ is a stunning oriental poppy, valued for its large, luminous amber-orange blooms that light up early summer borders. Each flower has gently ruffled petals surrounding a dark central blotch, creating striking contrast against the coarse, hairy green foliage. The blooms are held on tall, upright stems, making them a bold focal point in mixed plantings, cottage gardens, or as a standout feature in formal beds.

This perennial thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny position, where it will flower reliably year after year. Fully hardy in the UK, it requires minimal maintenance beyond cutting back spent foliage to encourage fresh growth. Its vivid flowers attract pollinators, adding ecological value, while its dramatic colour and architectural form make Papaver orientale ‘Glowing Amber’ a dependable and visually striking addition to summer garden displays.
