Oriental poppies do go thru their season fast with ratty looking foliage
until they go dormant in mid summer. I like to plant baby's breath or
perennial statice in front of them. By the time they are fininished the
growth from their companions can cover them up but not so heavily to
keep them from getting enough light. I'm sure if I look, there would be
other plants that don't really get going until the poppies have done
their thing.
