Description
Papaver 'Harvest Moon' is a radiant addition to any garden, featuring bold, golden-orange blooms that glow like the warm light of a setting sun. The flowers are large and dramatic, with crinkled, silk-like petals surrounding a striking black centre, creating an eye-catching contrast. Each bloom sits atop tall, sturdy stems, adding vertical interest to borders and mixed planting schemes.
Blooming from late spring to early summer, 'Harvest Moon' is a reliable performer, offering a burst of vibrant colour just as other spring flowers begin to fade. Its attractive, deeply lobed silvery-green foliage forms a neat, clump-forming base that provides textural interest even when the plant is not in flower.
What makes 'Harvest Moon' truly special is its ability to bring a warm, golden hue to planting schemes, a colour rarely found in Oriental Poppies. This variety is particularly well-suited to pairing with cool blues and purples for a dynamic colour contrast or soft whites and creams for a harmonious display.
Another unique feature is its slightly longer-lasting blooms compared to many Oriental Poppies, giving you more time to enjoy their spectacular display. The decorative seed heads that follow flowering add architectural interest to the garden or can be harvested for dried arrangements.
Hardy and easy to grow, 'Harvest Moon' thrives in UK gardens, preferring a sunny spot with well-drained soil. It’s also a magnet for pollinators, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to support bees and other beneficial insects.
We ship our Papaver 'Harvest Moon' as bare root plants in spring, ensuring they arrive fresh and ready to establish in your garden.
