Sue's Notes about Papaver orientale 'King Kong' (Oriental poppy 'King Kong')

Perennial oriental poppies start into growth early and most of them die back after flowering. If the look unsightly when they've finished flowering, just cut all the leaves back to ground level from where they will reshoot.
