Description
Papaver 'Harvest Moon' is a bright addition to any garden, featuring bold, golden-orange flowers that resemble the warm light of a setting sun. The large blooms have crinkled, silk-like petals with a striking black centre, creating a beautiful contrast. Each flower sits on tall, sturdy stems, adding height to garden borders and mixed plantings.
Blooming from late spring to early summer, 'Harvest Moon' adds vibrant colour just as other spring flowers begin to fade. Its attractive, deeply lobed silvery-green leaves form a neat base that adds texture even when the plant isn't in bloom.
What makes 'Harvest Moon' special is its warm, golden colour, which is rare in Oriental Poppies. It pairs well with cool blues and purples for contrast or soft whites and creams for a harmonious look.
The blooms last longer than many other Oriental Poppies, giving you more time to enjoy their beauty. After flowering, the seed heads add interest to the garden or can be used in dried arrangements.
Easy to grow and hardy, 'Harvest Moon' thrives in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. It also attracts pollinators, making it a great choice for supporting bees and other helpful insects.
