Grow Poppy Plants

Kiba Chan asked:


I’m writing a Warrior Cats fan-fiction and the main character is a medicine cat. I’m currently at the part where she needs to extract the poppy seeds from the plant to relieve an injured toms pain. I don’t have any poppy plants and I am not planning on growing any at any time in the near future.

Please just describe it to me so that I can get on with my fan-fiction.

I went to local walmart yesterday and saw poppy seeds and california poppy seeds in the gardening section. It’s illegal to grow poppies in S.Korea, where I’m originally from. Is it ok to grow them in Georgia? I wanna grow them in my front garden…

I am trying to grow sweet basil, perennial poppies and annual thumbelina zinnias in deep pots indoors. I am not sure how to get the germination process going, and the seed packets mention nothing about it. I have an understanding of what lighting conditions are needed for each seed. From my understanding, all 3 need either sun/partial shade or full sun. Being that it is the last week of May, and last frost has past, can I just put the seedlings in pots full of soil and put them in direct sunlight? I am reading in different online sources that I could put them in the pots with well saturated soil and place plastic bags over them? If the seeds germinate between 5-10 days, do I not water the soil until I see a sprout, or what? And do they need to be in indirect sunlight, or placed in a dark spot in my home to germinate? I have already put them in pots, so hopefully the damage isnt done already. I am clueless. Help!

I am growing a California Poppy for a project. I noticed these grass-looking things started to grow from the California Poppy seeds. What are these grass-looking things called?
