| Flowers: Poppy |
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. In mild winter regions (15 °F+) poppies may be autumn sown for larger, earlier seed crops. Transplant these only if you can get them in early, otherwise, seed is best sown directly as early as possible in the spring. Thin to 4-8” apart in the row. For cut flowers, the cut stem ends are seared by flame or dipped in boiling water just after harvest to extend vase life. 3-5' tall.
