Hens & Chicks Poppy 250 Seeds – Papaver somniferum Reviews
I ordered 5 poppy varieties from ‘One Stop Poppy Shoppe’, and recieved them very fast. They arrived very well labeled, with pictures and names on each package. (Included was a sixth package, a thank you gesture?). Included was growing instructions, and a brief history of poppies. This is July, so I haven’t planted them yet. The mix will make a very interesting garden, something the neighbors don’t have.
Very fast shipping. Had a problem with the post office employees not being able to add 44 and 44 together. No wonder the USPS is failing. Anyway, got exactly what I ordered and even an extra little present!!!! Would definitely order from this place again and again.

I recently ordered seeds from this company and was so pleased. The package arrived 3-4 days after order placed so that was impressive and it arrived in excellent condition! Packets of seeds were individually wrapped with a picture of the flower and name on the front. They even sent an extra package of seeds at no charge. The company enclosed a personalized hand signed thank you card for placing the order. Informational instruction sheet for planting and care also included in shipment. Needless to say, I had a wonderful experience and will order with them again in the future. Now all I have to do is plant and wait. Thanks, wife of one who ordered

100 White Poppy Seeds Peshwar ‘Album’ Papaver Somniferum Reviews
I bought three different types of poppies from this vendor, and I think the service merits that I post the review for each purchase.
I ordered Danish Flag, Turkish Black, and Peshawar White seeds. I haven’t grown them yet, so I will come back to write reviews after I have. But so far, I have been pleased that:
1. The package arrived three days earlier than anticipated.
2. It came in a bubble-wrapped envelope, and each of the seed packets were labelled.
3. The order was hand-signed and personalized.
4. I received a bonus packet of seeds (Papaver Rhoeas.)
I literally got more than I expected; I would rate it six stars if I could.
This supplier obviously has gardening in their blood, as the package I received had been put together with great care and attention to detail. Love the little seed packets, and full instructions given.
I have been looking for Lauren’s Grape for some time now, although I did not know it’s name until now. I saw it growing in a garden I visited, and thought wow!! I have to have some of that. I had only got photographs to go on for comparison. Apparently Great Dixter has trialed it, and it had great reviews. Unable to get anyone to part with some seed here in the U.K. so I decided to go further afield.
Whilst searching I also found this lovely white specimen. Can’t wait to see what happens with these two specimens in 2010.
Will definately keep this seller in my favourites for future purchases.

Danish Flag Afghan Poppy 250 Seeds – Papaver somniferum Reviews
The previous 1 star review is way off. He doesn’t know anything about poppies. The Danish Flag is the exact same species of poppy grown in Afghanistan and elsewhere. This is a variety of an Afghani cultivar of the papaver somniferum bred for it’s coloration. It’s only called Danish Flag because of the colors and cross. But if he’s ever seen a classic Afghan poppy he’d see the pattern is exactly the same, the red is just a lot redder in the Danish Flag variety.
The Danish Flag is easy to grow as long as it has decent soil, enough space, full sun, and fairly dry conditions around flowering. Plant in the late Fall or early Spring. At germination and lettuce stage they prefer a shorter 12 hour day, at flowering they prefer a 16 hr or longer daytime. Try to plant where you intend to grow, they hate transplanting, and it will stunt their growth. Can be grown in pots with varying results depending on the pot’s size. Keep them well drained. Plant by broadcasting in a soft flower bed, or tamp into soft soil, and thin the runts a couple weeks after sprouting. The seedlings are fairly resistant to frost and snow and thrive under cool conditions, the flowers and seed pods like bright sun and dry conditions.

Black Turkish Somniferum Poppy 200 Seeds – Papaver Reviews
I purchased these along with the organic white somniferum and the gigantium. I’m close to a mile above sea level here in Utah with no growing experience with poppies. It will be interesting to see how they come along. I love gardening but generally like to grow only a single specimen of each thing which perks my curiosity. These can self polinate so I shold get viable seeds with only one plant. The poppy is a perinial so it will die at the end of it’s growth cycle. Also, the flowers only last a few days before they fall off. So it’s a lot of work for a small amount of gratification. I think it’s well worth it though.
I basically ignored the lengthy growing instructions that the company provided free. Well, I’ll say that I did read the entire thing but only slightly followed the instructions. For one, I didn’t plant the seeds, but instead sprinkled them on top of the soil as suggested. I used very small pots with regular soil (not exactly recommended) which was a bad idea because the soil would dry out very quickly and then I’d douse them with water and then they’d be too wet and wouldn’t drain well. After about two or three weeks I had no results at all. I wasn’t surprised. I dug through the soil and couldn’t find any trace of the seeds. They are afterall, extremely small. Since I had only planeted about 10 seeds, I had plenty left over. I wasn’t too worried. This was just an experiment to see if I could get them to germinate indoors. From what I’ve read, they do not like to germinate indoors at all. I decided that I would wait until the frost was gone and then follow the instructions properly and plant them outdoors. Youtube has several good videos on planting poppy outdoors.
I assumed that the seeds had died because I had oversoaked them and they had literally rotted before germination. I took the small pots and dumped the entire contents into a large pot which has my prized jalapeno plant which is sitting by the window. It was in need of some extra soil anyway. I smeared the soild evenly and then gave the plant a nice big watering that it was due. Much to my surprise, about a week later all the poppy seeds have sprouted. I transfered some of these little seedlings to their own pots. I’m still getting new sprouts popping up. Some of them haven’t survived transplanting but from what I understand, you should expect some of them to fail anyway. Since you’re planting several seeds in one spot, you’ll get several sprouts. Let them grow and then remove the smaller weaker ones. My plants are receiving natural sunlight at a window facing south. If you’re attempting to germinate indoors you might consider my experience. They appear to like natural light with a low to medium moisture level that you get from a larger pot which drains well but retains the water evenly. The soil I used is ordinary bagged house plant soil from wallyworld. Scott Company Brand I believe.
I sent a friendly e-mail to the company who sells these seeds with several questions regarding the poppy plant. They responded quickly with a lengthy list of useful recommendations and ideas. These are really nice people who care about the product they sell and are well informed. A small business with a big heart. I highly recommend these seeds and the company. They combine shipping automatically so you don’t get stuck with huge shipping fees. I will order again in future!
Well I planted these while still cold like everyone says, They did come up when it warmed up but after a week they just all died. i took what I had left and started indoor and they grew fine for about a week and then all died again. Im not sure if it was the seed that was the issue or something I did but I must say it turned out to be a waste of money because i have nothing to show for planting 200 seeds!

Gardening: What is an annual?
In the language of the flower gardening world, the words annual and perennial may as well been Greek or Spanish to me. I simply turned the dirt in my flower beds in mid winter and headed to the garden center in early spring to purchase more flowers. The color was the only thing I concentrated on. One year, I was behind in my gardening chores and noticed little plants emerging from the unturned soil. Alas! This began my education into the annual and perennial lingo of the more experienced gardeners of the world.
Annuals are plants that sprout, flower, seed and die all within one season or one year. Perennials return year after year. Then there are biennials that act similar to annuals. They sprout one year, and bloom the second year, if beginner gardeners like me don’t kill them turning the soil in mid winter. Most annuals are not winter hardy depending on your area and climate. The first frost will kill them. Also, the last surprise frost or freeze in the early spring will kill them. They should be planted in the spring when the soil is warm and all chances of late frost or freeze has long passed. There are exceptions, as always in the garden world.
There are warm-weather annuals and cool-weather annuals. Warm weather annuals are flowers, like impatiens or germaniums, that should be planted when soil is warm. They will die when the cold touches them. Then there are the cool-weather annuals like poppies and pansies that need to be planted in the fall for early spring growth and bloom. They will die as soon as the heat of summer touches them.
Annuals are popular to plant in the spring to fill in the bare spots left by early blooming perennials or bulbs, that have bloomed and died back. There are vast varieties available. Garden centers, grocery stores and local markets normally carry the most popular variety, but nurseries and seed catalogs will have hundreds of choices to pick from. The warm weather varieties can be started indoors from seed to get a jump start on the flowering.
Annuals are easy to grow and will provide blooms from spring to fall, but they require a little more work since you have to repurchase and replant every year. As they are short lived, it is also fun to experiment with different varieties yearly to find your perfect flower. Annuals are the perfect patio plant as they perform well in containers or pots on your deck, patio or porch.
Cool-weather annuals:
*Ornamental cabbage
*Poppies
*Sweet William
*Sweet Pea
*Pansies
*Larkspur
Some annuals for sunny areas:
*Calliopsis
*Cosmos
*Germanium
*Zinnia
*Black-eyed Susan, and can be biennials in some areas
*Four O’clock
*Marigold
*Morning Glory and Moonflower

While I enjoy perennials, biennials and annuals, annuals are the easiest to provide long lasting flower throughout the spring and summer. Once established in the early spring, they will reward you with color until the first frost of autumn.
How To Use Annuals In Landscaping Your Garden
An annual, from the point of view of the amateur gardener, is any
plant which must be replaced each year and which flowers only
once in its life. Annuals generally are grown from seed. The
chief advantage of annuals over perennials is their low cost.
Thousands of plants can be grown from a single packet of seeds.
Annuals are also very decorative, and provide the best source of
flowers for cutting. Their season of bloom is relatively long, as
well. Their chief disadvantage is the late date at which they
bloom. If annuals are used alone in a bed or border, a good part
of the season will pass with little to show in the way of color.
Annuals are also of use as a filler between shrubs set some
distance apart. This permits the shrub to grow, yet prevents too
stark an appearance. The sowing of annuals, of course, depends
upon the class to which they belong. The hardier flowers, such as
larkspur, poppies and cornflowers, can be profitably planted in
late fall. The ground preparation must be just as careful as for
spring planting.
Planting in fall is advantageous since it per mits the flowers to
get an early start the following spring. Certain other hardy
annuals can be planted early in spring as soon as the ground is
workable. It is a good idea to start some of the less hardy
annuals in seed pots, or in coldframes, as early as March.
Otherwise, these plants cannot be set out until all danger of
frost is gone. Outdoor planting of annuals in the spring follows
thorough soil preparation.
The seedbed must be carefully pulverized with a rake after it has
been prepared and prior to planting. Eliminate all lumps. The
seeds are sown broadcast in the patch selected, and then are
lightly covered with soil. The soil may be gently tamped after
the covering is completed. The patch should be identified with a
stake and some sort of sign. Flower seeds are best planted near
the surface.
In no case should they be sown more than 1 inch deep. The seeds
of larger plants which have a strong growth, such as sunflowers,
can be planted in hills spaced from 2 to 4 feet apart. Often,
annuals are planted in rows. This method is used when a cutting
garden is being grown. To do this, dig a shallow trench not more
than 1 inch deep with a trowel, or your fingers, and then place
the seed in the trench.
Sow more seed than appears necessary, and then trim out after the
plants appear above ground. Thinning is required, in any event,
for a good crop of annuals, if only to insure sufficient room for
each plant. Transplanting is a considerable shock in the life of
a plant, and unless it is carefully done, the plant will die. It
is a good idea to expose coldframes and potted seeds to the
outside air for a time before transplanting, in order to prevent
shock.
All the soil in the frame or pot should be used when
transplanting. Transplanting should be done on a cloudy, damp
day, if possible. If the soil is dry, it should be watered before
transplanting, and then thoroughly after the plants are in the
ground. If the day is sunny, some sort of shade should be
provided for the newly transferred plants. As soon as the plants
are established, these protective coverings can be removed.
