The Red Rumble Poppy is a striking, low-maintenance Oriental poppy known for its large, semi-double, ruffled ruby-red blooms featuring dark purple-black markings near deep purple centers. These flowers rise above grey-green, fern-like, toothed foliage on sturdy stems reaching 24-36 inches. Ideal for perennial borders, they thrive in rich, moderately moist soil with full sun exposure. After blooming, the plant enters semi-dormancy during summer heat, often producing fresh foliage as temperatures cool in fall. To conceal bare spots, plant a low, mounding perennial nearby. This variety attracts pollinators and resists deer and rabbits.
