Papaver pilosum cultivation notes: Perennial poppy prefers a sheltered position in full sun, flourishing on any well drained, fertile garden soil including relatively chalky soils. After flowering cut back foliage to encourage a new flush of attractive leaves for late summer. Divide in autumn / spring every 3 -5 years and mulch occasionally in winter to feed.

Plant Strengths: Sun loving drought tolerant plant.

Plant Weaknesses: Will not tolerate exposed, cold or hot and sunny locations.
