How to care for Papaver (Oriental Group) Red Rumble ('HG01') (PBR):
Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot, incorporating plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve fertility and structure.
Water well after planting, but avoid waterlogging, as these plants dislike excessive moisture, particularly in winter. A layer of mulch will help insulate the roots from extreme cold and retain soil moisture during the summer.
After flowering, the foliage often becomes tatty and can be cut back to encourage fresh new growth. This helps maintain a tidy appearance and can sometimes prompt a second flush of leaves. Combine this with watering during dry spells and applying a light mulch to support healthy regrowth.
