This Oriental Poppy has swept all others from consideration in Europe, where it has been available for several years. Brand new over here, it is certain to create an equal sensation, especially in the far north, where it proves very cold hardy. I first ran across it in the garden of Dan Hinkley, master plantsman and great discoverer of good things. Visible from 100 feet away, 'Patty's Plum' was not so much eyecatching as demanding of my attention! I don't think I've really looked away since!

We have had very poor luck with poppies, but I would be inclined to try this one.
