Giant Purple Poppy Papaver Somniferum Premium Seeds for Planting Packet

Do not listen to the negative comments, if you know what you are doing you can get all of them to germinate. Poppies are very tender and fussy to grow. Had great success with this product.

Great

Waste of money, these never germinated.

You can do one of two things. Put directly into freezer for one month then sow seeds into garden bed of gravel base , sand in middle and topsoil on top during early to late November. Seeds need a day and night cycle of cold and sunlight to sprout. But the outside coating has to break down over winter first. Or You can put in a pot of topsoil and use a grow light for the winter. Water with a mist bottle two to three times a week. Once in a while put seeds outside in direct sunlight for 6 hours. But a grow light will work. Pictures are of seeds at 2 weeks of growth after one month in freezer.

Low germination rate. Weak leaved petals. Need well planed plot for growing a few. Pods make great ornaments.

Does not grow indoors though but they all sprouted. Next year I'll try growing them outdoors.

I used good soil but ony a few came up.

Bought late in season. Poppies tend to reproduce the following year without re-seeding.
