Poppy Seeds Commonly known as Pepperbox
Grown in my Garden! Huge purple blooms
Always freshly harvested for current year You can't get them any fresher than this.
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 about 3 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. If you plant in the spring, the seeds need to be stored in a cold dry place in an unheated garage or refrigerated until they are planted.
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 produce seeds to grow season after season.
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 1/4 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.
