Stratified, Authentic Tasmanian Poppy (P Somniferum) Seeds for Planting. 10,000 Seeds, USA Seller, Fast Shipping. These are NOT the Orientale variety being pawned off as Somniferum by some sellers (Oriental Poppy is NOT Som Poppy) - these are TRUE Somniferum. These fresh Purple and White Tasmanian Poppy seeds (harvested in late fall 2023) are pre-stratified and ready to plant! Plant poppy seeds in fall or late spring / early summer after frost. Most poppies require a period of stratification - these seeds have already been stratified. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours. Select a sunny spot with well draining, sandy type soil. Scatter seeds and very gently rake to distribute. Cover with no more than 1/16" of soil. Mist the soil whenever it appears dry. Germination occurs in 7-20 days. Reduce frequency of irrigation once poppies reach 2-3” high as they do not like damp growing conditions. Do not plant in really hot weather. These seeds DO NOT like to germinate in Mid-Summer like weather, the best planting times being Fall-thru-late Spring. Poppies do not do well as transplants. The intended use of these seeds is for planting. FDA Disclaimer: This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. US Domestic shipping only .
