Cultivation Methods
 - Planting: Plant in a well-drained location. Before planting, deeply till the soil and mix in compost to provide nutrients.

Uses in the Garden
Due to its showy flowers, the Oriental Poppy 'Tiffany' makes a great focal point when placed in flowerbeds or along garden edges. Planting it alongside various herbaceous plants creates an excellent contrast.

Important Pests and Control Methods - Aphids: Regularly check the leaves; if aphids are found, use insecticides or control them using natural methods.
