Papaver orientale
Naturehills.com carries thousands of products including the Oriental Poppy - Ruffled Patty
from the Fall Flower Bulbs family.
The Oriental Poppy 'Ruffled Patty', Papaver, has layers and layers of lavender ruffled petals. I don't know who Patty is, but I'm willing to bet she doesn't like icky bugs, mud, or toy trucks. Judging by all those ruffles, she's just too much of a girly girl! Give her plenty of sun and well drained organic soil and she'll be the prettiest posy in the spring garden.
These hybrid poppies bloom in May and June each year on vigorous plants about 3' tall. They are truly spectacular. Plant them in groups or in the perennial border and you will enjoy them for a lifetime. They do well in the sun or slight shade in well drained soil. Plant 15-18"" apart. Ruffled Patty are best used as cut flowers, as a border plant and as underplantings to larger, late flowering perennials. They do go dormant in July or August, and the foliage will die back completely to the ground. Avoid planting in wide open spaces.
