Oriental Poppy Picotee
Poppies, revered for their uncommonly pretty shape and layers of delicate petals, add a gorgeous pop of bright color to the landscape or indoor arrangements. With this variety, you’ll fall in love all over again with exotic poppies. Unique in both form and color, Picotee dazzles in the garden or border with huge 4–6” flowers of silky white. The broad, ruffled edges of each poppy are accented with a delicate line of apricot-coral, giving the blooms a very special appearance.

Planting Instructions
This product was shipped to you at the proper planting time for your area. However, sometimes Mother Nature will bring in an unexpected cold front. Ideal planting conditions are when the average high temperature is around 60°F and the low temperature does not drop down below 40°F.
For optimum results, plant as follows:
- Spade or rototill the soil 12″ deep, and create a hole large enough to spread out the plant’s roots without bending them.
- Place your bareroot in the hole so that the top sits about 1″ below the soil surface.
- Refill the hole and firm the soil gently with your hands. (It’s always good to add organic matter to your soil. You can mix in dehydrated manure, garden compost, shredded leaves and/or peat moss.)
- Water plants in lightly after planting. Apply a 2–4″ layer of mulch to promote moisture retention and maintain even garden soil temperatures.
Continuing Care
Watering| Water plants in lightly after planting. Once growth starts to
emerge in late spring, the plants need watered more frequently. However, take
care not to overwater. The soil should not be too soggy.
---|---
Mulching| Apply a 2–4″ layer of mulch to promote moisture retention and
maintain even garden soil temperatures.
Weeding| Keep the area around your plants free of weeds. Weeds compete
with all plants for food, water and light. Walk around the garden periodically
and pull weeds.
Grooming| After blooming, cut the withered flower at the top of the stem
to prevent seed production, and then allow the leaves to wither and turn brown
before removing them. The green leaves provide nourishment for the plants.
Feeding| Discontinue any fertilizers by early September to prepare your
plants for winter dormancy
Winterizing| In the fall, when the leaves die back, trim the foliage so
that about 2″ of it remains above the ground’s
