Poppy Seeds – (Mixed Papaver Somniferum, 40%, Papaver Paeoniflorum 40%, Papaver Rhoeas, 20% ) – Approx. 1000 seeds in each pack.

A vibrant mix of poppy seeds for a spectacular burst of colour and texture in your gardens. Best sown in autumn or early spring as the cold temperatures will help to break dormancy. Poppies are best sown direct where they are to grow because young seedlings do not transport well. Seed germinates in flushes in both autumn and spring and plants will flower late spring – early summer. They are highly beneficial to bees and other pollinating insects. The papery petals reveal beautiful upright pods containing thousands of tiny seeds. These are easily collected for sowing and sharing. And will freely disperse when shaken in the wind. In the right conditions poppies will return each year with minimal care or effort. Poppies have a long history of human use in both food and medicine. They are a symbol of peace, remembrance and divine healing.
