Cutting back oriental poppy?
in Plants
Hello, quick question. I've had a big oriental poppy plant for the past few years. Am I right to cut it back to the base after flowering. I did last year and it was dormant after cutting back until early autumn when it started to produce foliage.

Cutting it back now gets its natural growth timing out of sync. which is why yours came into growth in the autumn.
