You can seed in some quick growing annuals - like alyssum, bachelor buttons,
etc, to just at the outskirts of the poppy plants. They will start to have
significant foliage about the time that the poppy is losing its pizazz.

They look wonderful for a while, but we all know that they look icky once
they are done blooming ( big oriental poppies) Any ideas for what to plant
around them to disguise them? I"m in USDA zone 3 ( eastern WA)

thanks
