Poppy - Papaver Nudicaule - Champagne Bubbles Scarlet. Historically these unique flowers were grown for seasoning and medicinal uses. The name “poppy” means to sleep. The large brilliant scarlet flowers with its golden center, and satiny papery like petals, actually sparkle in the sunlight when the wind blows. They are an excellent choice for cutting and drying for ornaments. To keep these beauties blooming, remove the faded flowers to allow buds to form. They can be started indoors and put outdoors according to your zone. The plants are edible, just be mindful not to ingest too much to avoid health problems. The flowers have a sweet nutty flavor and are used to add flavor and texture to breads and pastries. These plants are easy to grow and are used in beds, borders, patios, cottage gardens and containers, plant en masse for breathtaking displays of scarlet color.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
