The ultimate red Oriental Poppy, 'Beauty of Livermere' is a truly magnificent and dramatic perennial that commands attention. It produces enormous, single, bowl-shaped flowers, up to 20cm (8 inches) across, with huge, silky petals of the most intense, pure, blood-red. The sheer vibrancy and size of the blooms are breathtaking. At the base of each petal is a large, jet-black blotch, which creates a bold and dramatic central eye. This is contrasted beautifully by a boss of purplish-black stamens. The flowers are held high on strong, bristly stems above a substantial clump of coarse, hairy, grey-green leaves. It puts on its unforgettable, flamboyant display in early summer before entering its summer dormancy. For a splash of pure, unadulterated drama, no other poppy can compare.
