The Papaver nudicaule Colibri® Arancio, also known as the Icelandic poppy, is one of the most beloved seasonal cut flowers of the moment. With its silky petals, intense orange hue, and refined appearance, this poppy offers a unique combination of elegance and natural charm. In the world of floral design, the Colibri® series is highly prized for its uniform growth, long stems, and excellent vase life. This makes the Papaver nudicaule Colibri® Arancio an absolute must-have for florists, stylists, and lovers of special cut flowers.
The flowers of the Papaver nudicaule Colibri® Arancio are a striking, warm orange with golden nuances. The airy, transparent texture of the petals catches the light beautifully, giving them an almost ethereal sheen in bouquets. The intense color works perfectly as a focal point but also combines subtly with pastel shades, white, yellow, and peach flowers.
This poppy complements almost any style: from rustic and wild field bouquets to modern, minimalist arrangements. Its expressive color makes it a perfect accent in natural spring displays and summery floral arrangements.
The Colibri® series is known for its sturdy, straight flower stems. This variety develops stems of approximately 25–35 cm long, ideal for medium-sized and compact bouquets. The stems are flexible yet sturdy enough to last several days in a vase.
A major advantage for cut flower cultivation is the consistent flowering and uniform flower quality. This allows the Papaver nudicaule Colibri® Arancio to be easily grown on a larger scale, with a consistently high-quality end product.
As with all poppies, proper cutting technique is crucial for optimal vase life. For best results, harvest when the bud is just beginning to open and the first color is visible. Then, it's important to briefly singe the stem (immerse it in boiling water or pass the stem tip through a flame) to seal in the sap. This prevents the flower from wilting and significantly extends its vase life.
With proper care, Papaver nudicaule Colibri® Arancio will last 3 to 5 days in a vase. It's a true seasonal flower whose delicate appearance instantly adds a luxurious, artisanal touch to bouquets.
For cut flowers, this poppy is best grown in a sunny, airy spot with well-drained soil. The Colibri® series is known for its high production of flower stems, especially during cooler periods. This makes Papaver nudicaule Colibri® Arancio one of the first to produce color in spring and remains productive until early summer.
Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce new flower stems. Because the plant is slightly perennial but is often grown as an annual or biennial in practice, annual renewal is common for consistent cut quality.
