Oriental Poppy in Zone 3
Please bear with me folks, this is my 1st year in a new(er) house with a 1/2
acre lot. There are a lot of perennials already established, but much room for more. So, I bought two oriental poppies, planted them 6 feet apart in a south-facing well-drained bed. They were in 6-inch pots, and were about 6 inches in height when bought. They've now doubled in size, but only one has developed a flower bud, which unfortunately drooped & rotted before blooming. It was the size of a large red grape. I should mention that we've had an extraodinary amount of rain lately. However, on dry days, the leaves looked wilted, so I was watering on a daily basis. So, is it too much water? Do they need to establish for a year or so before blooming? Any suggestions? TIA |
