Moroccan Orange Poppy Seeds belong to clump-forming, short-lived perennials that showcase saucer-shaped apricot-orange flowers, measuring six inches across. These vibrant blooms grace the garden from late spring into fall, providing months of color, particularly when deadheaded. The flowers elegantly perch atop upright, wiry stems, appearing to float above rosettes of gray-green, toothed leaves. Known for its remarkable toughness and ease of cultivation, Moroccan Poppy effortlessly enhances the visual appeal of rock or dry gardens with long-lasting color.

  • • Also known as Spanish Poppy or Atlas Poppy
  • • Deer tolerant and pest and disease free
  • • If planted in partial shade, flowers will retain color longer

    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

    Germinated and survived transplanting really well. I put them in my gravel walkway with mulch on top and although they aren't getting big, they're alive and blooming! They're not as conspicuous as other poppies but they're tough and durable and taking the full, hot sun of my garden easily.
