Description
Papaver somniferum
Slovakian heirloom with massive seedheads and oil-rich, nutritious seeds.
Showy, pale lavender blooms top these 3-4’ tall plants that feed scads of bees before swelling into fat seedpods that house loads of amazingly white, sweet tasting seeds that can be used in baking, and won’t show as much when they get stuck in your teeth!
200 seeds.
Seeds grown by Thompson Creek Farm in Newman Lake, Washington.
Directions: Poppies dislike having their roots disturbed and they prefer cool soil, so it's best to direct sow them in late fall to early spring. Light is required for germination so scatter seeds on the surface and lightly cover with soil.
