Sorry to say it is true, but part of their beauty is in their transience. I believe some new varieties are now available but very expensive, which do last longer, expect it would be advisable to wait till next Spring, when they will be more widely available.Can't n ame any Nursery where they are available now.

I guess poppies are just like that. If you are away for too long you miss them.

Try planting the lovely oriental poppies(Papaver orientale) like Beauty of Livermere or Patties Plum ,there are many in all sorts of pinks reds and whites, they last much longer.
