Oriental poppy 'Marlene' is one of the most colourful and exciting poppies, with beautiful, large, ruffled flowers. This hardy perennial produces delightful, slightly hairy foliage on stems 50-70 cm tall.

After the flowering period, around the end of June, the plant goes completely into the ground, where it gains new strength in its roots. The oriental poppy has long, deep roots and does not like to be transplanted. In the fall, the poppy sprouts again, remains green all winter and does not require any protection.

It releases its seeds and ensures self-seeding.
