Antique Heirloom Botanical Somniferum Poppy Seeds including Rare Flemish Grown in my Garden! Huge Peony type blooms Always freshly harvested for current year You can’t get them any fresher than this. Shades of Whites to White bi-colors with a few black and bi-colored Pinks These are the poppies you see on old Botanical drawings Most of these poppies have small pods that produce very little seed. That is why I only have a small quantity each year. They should be kept away from other poppies or eventually they just get crowded out. These seeds are fresh from my garden and are what is left after giving them to my friends to “Poppylate” the world! My seeds are home grown. Don’t be fooled by sellers that are buying them at the grocery store and labeling them as home grown poppies just to make a sale. There are only a few sellers on ebay who grow their own seeds, and I am one of them. I have been selling my seeds on ebay since 1998* Some of mine plants grow to 6′ tall These poppies in are an annuals, meaning the complete their life during one season. The germinate, grow, flower, go to seed and then die all in one season. They love full sun, but can be grown in partial shade as well. The optimum planting time is in late fall after temps fall below 50. The seeds need stratification in order to germinate in the spring. They can also be planted in winter any time the ground is not frozen or in Spring as soon as the ground is not frozen If you plant in the spring, the seeds need to be stored in a cold dry place or refrigerated until they are planted. Do not plant if over 60 degrees or they will bolt or not germinate until the following year. Some of mine plants grow to 6′ tall My seeds are home grown. All of the photos are of my current garden or from the garden at my previous house.. I do not live on a growing farm or any farm for that matter. The seeds germinate freely, and will give you seeds for years to come. Naturally resistant to Predators. Deer proof. Germination testing on this years seeds were a complete success. The problem with this is that you will have thousands of microscopic plants that a some point should be thinned. The best way to remedy this is to mix your seeds with sand and then sprinkle on the soil like Salt. I will send 1/8 teaspoon. I’m not counting them, you can. I will include the planting instructions with every order. It is nearly impossible to count out thousands of poppy seeds. I have NO idea how some people sell 50 or 100 seeds. The generally accepted measurements are as follows: 1/8th teaspoon – 1000 seeds 1/4th teaspoon – 2000 – 2500 seeds1/2 teaspoon – 5000 seedsThe above seed count is an average for ALL poppy seeds. I am selling them by the measuring spoon method only and do not guarantee the exact number of seeds!! Shipping: Buyer pays shipping for the 1st pack. Each additional pack is free. I do NOT make money on shipping! I use only padded bubble mailers with additional stuffing and send them as a parcel.Seeds are stored in Glass containers or in their pods until I ship. At that time I put them in a small plastic bag that is meant to be temporary. If they are not to be planted immediately, then remove them from the bag and store them in an airtight container in a cool dry place such as an unheated garage, or refrigerate them until planting time. NOTE: I use the plastic bags because of past complaints with the paper envelopes that just do not seal all the way.
