    There seems to be conflicting articles about when to cut back oriental poppies

    I am confused as to when to cut back all foliage and seed pods on my oriental poppies. To what height can I cut them down to

    Break the seed pods off as each flower drops its petals. The stems can be cut back later when they have died back.

    Do I have to wait for the leaves to be yellow and dead? They look so ugly.
