Oriental Beauty of Livermere [Dark Red] 

Grown in a 3.5 inch pot

Red blooms with a dark eye appear in late spring to early summer. The hairy leaves of this poppy make it resistant to both deer and rabbits. The foliage begins to go dormant after blooming, so don't fret, it is not dying.  Plant next to a fall blooming perennial such as echinacea that will fill in the area as it goes dormant.
