A good rule of thumb; make the soil level of the pot level with the rest of your border when planting out. Another rule of thumb; nearly all our plants will grow in indirect sunlight; we are in the British Isles after all. Another rule of thumb (!); Plants usually do better in the ground, which is unsurprising because that where they can from! Containers are ok if plants are kept fed and watered during their growing months, and in a warmer place during the winter. Try not to over water! • During the year plants can be in various states of growth. The same plant delivered in early spring could be much bigger or smaller if delivered in late spring. Please be aware of this when ordering or receiving them. • Some plants may have their flowers and foliage cut back when we send them, and look a bit awful! Don't worry, it is for their own good; some plants like to travel light. Similarly bulbs, rhizomes, and some plants may be dormant or dying back for the year when you order them, they may even look dead - that is the nature of hardy perennials so don't worry. Plant them out and wait, perhaps until next year, patience is a virtue in the hardy perennial game. Eventually your hardy perennials should grow back beautiful year after year. Again, this is the nature of hardy perennials - they die back and grow back, die back and grow back, year after year after year. Some years are better than others. You get the picture! • Postage and packaging is a flat fee of £3.99 per order • If you are for some reason upset in any way please contact us - we're human. ## Features - About this cultivar: Papaver orientale 'Allegro' is a dwarf form of perennial poppy. It features large, solitary, crepe papery, cup-shaped flowers on long stalks in late spring to early summer. Each flower has 4-6 orange-red petals with dark basal blotches and a boss of dark purple center stamens. Serrate, thistle-like, grayish-green leaves have a somewhat weedy appearance! Image Credit: Wikipedia Creative Commons - About this genus: Papaver (pap-a-ver) is a genus of 70-100 species of frost-tolerant annuals, biennials, and perennials native to temperate and cold regions of Eurasia, Africa and North America. It is the type genus of the poppy family, Papaveraceae. No one really knows the origin of the name! - Wielded by man since prehistoric times, Poppies have long been associated with sleep and oblivion, and after the First World War, the Flower of Forgetfulness ironically evolved into a symbol for remembrance. - Generally distinguished by nodding buds, solitary fleeting flowers gracing long stems, and decorative seed heads, these plants appreciate a somewhat dry position. However the cultivars we have here will also do well in wet clay - we know this because we grown them in our own wet-clay garden! In fact we have grown some cultivars under trees (you won;t read about that). So in general - any soil that isn't a pond and sun to part-shade. - Position: Full sun, partial shade Soil: Almost any soil, grows well in Ballyrobert Flowers: June, July Other features: - Hardiness: Fully hardy, grows well in Ballyrobert Habit: Clump forming Foliage: Deciduous Height: 45 - 60 cm (1.5 - 2 ft) Spread: 45 - 60 cm (1.5 - 2 ft) Time to full growth: 2 to 5 years Plant type: Herbaceous Perennial Colour: Green, red, orange Goes well with: Grasses ## Images ![Papaver orientale 'Allegro' : aka oriental poppy, a garden tested, hardy perennial plant supplied in a half litre pot - Image 1](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2Blp13GWrL.jpg) ![Papaver orientale 'Allegro' : aka oriental poppy, a garden tested, hardy perennial plant supplied in a half litre pot - Image 2](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51CGXf74KmL.jpg) ![Papaver orientale 'Allegro' : aka oriental poppy, a garden tested, hardy perennial plant supplied in a half litre pot - Image 3](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51uxSHAvbKL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/65034500-papaver-orientale-allegro-aka-oriental-poppy-a-garden-tested-hardy](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/65034500-papaver-orientale-allegro-aka-oriental-poppy-a-garden-tested-hardy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
