“Poppy ‘' Papaver Somniferum- 200x Mixed Seeds. open pollinated from my garden in 2023.

Open pollinated , many unique and giant cultivars. Lots of beautiful colours, flowers and pods. 

Papaver somniferum will grow to about 60 to 90cm tall and has thick, hairy stems and lettuce like leaves. The seed pods are well-suited for crafts and dried floral arrangements. The seed pods will produce an abundance of edible blue seeds.


An absolute beautiful addition to any flower bed. The Bees love them!

Most annual varieties will readily self-seed. This mix has flowers that are up to 6" across, and produce the largest possible seed pods which are highly ornamental, they can be used fresh, or dried for winter decoration.

Simply sprinkle your seeds, press into the soil(optional), keep the water up and watch them grow!

That being said, i have planted poppy seed late winter and have also had success (however the heat of summer will destroy a percentage of any latex on the pods, so keep that in mind. If you are harvesting. May is more ideal!
