What is the poppy?
Plime Poppy is a large, herbal permanent plant from China, Japan and Southeast Asia. It is used as ornamental, the poppy is appreciated for its fresh leaves; its tall, striking stems of flowers; and its ability to prosper in different soil conditions. Once set up, poppy seed requires small additional care. The scientific name of this popular ornamental is macleaya cordata ; He is a member of the PAPAVERACEAE or poppy family.
Plicky poppy grows from 5 feet to 8 feet (1.5 m to 2.5 m) high and from 2 feet to 4 feet (0.6 m to 1.2 m) wide. Large leaves are gray to olive green with fine -knurled edges. In summer, the high, 12 -inch (30 cm) stems of flowers above fresh leaves rise, creating a light pink and creamy white cloud -like effect. Flower stems, as soon as they are dried and removed from the plant, are used in dried arrangements. Removing the stems of flowers before the climate seeds appear provide the best cultivation conditions. In areas where the years remain cool,poppy from an area full of sun prosper. Where the years are hot, the location that gains a partial shadow is preferred. Plumek poppy is resistant in areas where winter temperatures remain above 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-15 ° C). When winter temperatures fall under freezing, leaves and floral stems and dead stems should be reduced back to the ground at the end of winter or early in the spring.
The poppy seed module is fresh from the bottom of the plant just below the floral clouds, which makes this ornamental plant suitable as a pattern plant or in the foreground of the shrub. Neutral, fresh puff can also be used as a background for other ornamental shrubs. PMEOK is less suitable in a flower race or as a border plant around shallow rooted annuals, because of the aggressive, spreading nature of the Izome system. In order to avoid spreading, individual plants should be pulled into plastic pots and sunk to the ground, at levelni soil.
The rhizome division is the easiest way to promote a cloud poppy. Rhizomes are dug in early spring and are divided into sections, each containing at least one "eye" where new shooting appears. The seeds are collected in autumn and sown in the spring. For reliable germination, the seeds should be sown in a greenhouse or cold frame.
