Exquisite white flowers, each with a black centre, top downy, upright stems in early summer. This striking oriental poppy will flourish in any sunny, well drained border, however it looks particularly good in a contemporary setting where the colour range has been restricted to whites and silvers. The dried seed-heads are useful for flower arrangements. - Garden care: When planting 'Royal Wedding' add plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting. Apply mulch to protect the roots from cold temperatures. Cut back to ground level after flowering. Lift and divide large clumps in autumn.
