PRODUCT INFORMATION
- About Oriental Poppy Seeds - Red
- Papaver orientale
- Perennial; Gorgeous, bold color!
- Large red flowers bloom in summer
- Poppy seeds require a cool period of 2-4 weeks to break dormancy,
and some gardeners choose to cold stratify their seeds.
- Boasting large and intensely colored blooms, this Oriental Poppy is
easy to grow and sun-loving.
- A double layer of red petals
are each dabbed with black giving this bloom a touch of the exotic.
- A perennial poppy that does well in cooler climates.
- Oriental Poppy- Easy-to-grow from Oriental Poppy seeds, no border
should be without an incredible display of these intensely colored blooms.
Orange scarlet blooms with a black eye add an exotic feeling to any sunny
flower garden. The hairy foliage emerges early in the spring, and the
Oriental Poppy plants quickly reach maturity. Papaver orientale will go
dormant after it blooms, so plant Poppies among later emerging sun-loving,
sprawling perennials that will fill the space. Oriental Poppies prefer
full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil, and they attract bees,
butterflies and hummingbirds.
- Tall-Growing Perennial. Poppy seeds are most commonly
sown directly outdoors. The seeds require cold treatment in order to
germinate, so sow them in the fall after the soil has cooled. Seeds can
also be sown in early spring a month before the last frost. Prepare and
loosen a seedbed, and then scatter seeds over it. Cover the seeds with a
light dusting of soil: light is needed for germination. Seeds should be
kept moist until germination. Germination takes about 14-21 days. Oriental
poppies are native to the cold regions of Asia, and thus dislike heat and
humidity. The plants grow in clumps, so spreading by division or
transplanting is not ideal.

HOW TO PLANT POPPIES
Stratification is the act of
simulating winter conditions — cold and moist — to prep seeds for their usual
germination temperatures come spring.
All poppy seed varieties require
cold-stratification and, because the sensitive seedlings do not always
transplant well, they are best sown directly in the garden.
Sowing from fall to very early spring
allows the cold, wet weather to gradually break down the hard seed coat in time
for the growing season.
Seeds need light to germinate.
Sprinkle them on the soil and leave uncovered. If it is windy you can lightly
compress so they don’t blow away.
If you get a late start, seeds can
also be stratified by placing them in the refrigerator, usually in some kind of
moist potting soil.
Blend seed and seed starting mix in a
1:3 ratio in a plastic bag or a small container like a margarine tub and put
them in your refrigerator.
Keep them refrigerated for several
weeks before planting in the garden. Plant immediately when removing from the
refrigerator.
