Papaver Oriental - hybrid Pizzicato mix. These showy crepe-like flowers make the biggest show of the season in perennial gardens everywhere at 2-3 ft tall with bristly foliage. In bloom they produce 4 very large petaled flowers that open wide, and most have dark black centers, having colors that range from shades of white, pink, salmon, and scarlet. The Orientals are some of the hardiest longest lasting perennials there are. Once the flowers are mature and established, they can survive almost any conditions they face and will self-sow and live for years. The roots are very fleshy and once they are in the ground they don’t like being transplanted. So pick a permanent forever home to assure the plants survival. They are excellent show-offs for the front of a border and also great for cut flowers and gardens.

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!!!!
