October 13, 2006, Newsletter Issue #132: Romneya: The Tree Poppy.

Tip of the Week

The tree poppy has decorative blue/grey foliage and grows to around 5 ft tall. The outstanding feature is the large poppy-like white flowers that appear from mid July till October.
Buy a container grown specimen and plant during spring. Reasonable hardy but a cold winter will kill the stems down to ground level. New growth will appear from beneath ground level.

Prune during April by cutting all the stems down to 6".
