- Unique dark centers that add dramatic contrast and visual interest
- Extended bloom period with potential for a second flush of flowers in late summer or early fall
- Light green, hairy, deeply lobed foliage that remains attractive longer than many traditional Oriental Poppy varieties
- Impressive 28-inch height with a spread of 18-24 inches, creating substantial presence in perennial borders

These remarkable characteristics make Harlem an exceptional choice for creating memorable landscape statements that will impress your clients season after season.
Growing and Planting Guidelines
Plant Harlem Oriental Poppies in full sun locations with well-drained, fertile soil. While adaptable to various soil types, they perform best in neutral to slightly acidic conditions. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to accommodate their mature spread. Once established, these poppies demonstrate good drought tolerance, though regular watering during dry periods promotes optimal performance. Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, they're versatile performers across diverse climate regions. For best results, cut back foliage after initial flowering to encourage a potential second bloom.
