Hello all,

I seem to have developed a wild passion for P. orientalis in its
various
forms and had a great display in my microscopic front garden over
the
last month or so.

Now, the back garden is being readied for cultivation and I plan to
plant some more there. So I'm looking for suggestions on plants
which
may be planted under or near to the poppies which will take up the
space
after the poppies are finished.

In the front I've put in a bunch of deciduous arum lillies
(Zantedeschia
ethiopica hybrids) which come up fast at just the right time. Any
other
suggestions?

Are there hybrids which are hardier than the species?
Dare I risk them in the open at the top end of Wensleydale, in a
reasonably sheltered garden?

Franz
