Papaver sominiferum The stunning 4” flowers are the first morning targets for gathering bees. Poppies are a staple food crop for people in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Poppy seed and the very fine oil made from it (called “olivette” in French cuisine) are daily ingredients in cooking throughout this region. Seed is best sown directly (does not transplant well), as early as possible in the spring. Thinning to 4-8” apart in the row. In mild winter regions (15 °F+) poppies may be autumn sown for larger, earlier seed crops. For cut flowers, the cut stem ends are seared by flame or dipped in boiling water just after harvest to extend vase life. Seeds Per Packet: 300 Seeds Per Gram: 3,000 Seeds Per Ounce: 84,000
