Sowing The SeedPapaver rhoeas seeds grow best with a period of stratification, 4 weeks prior to sowing. Papaver rhoeas flower seeds are also best sown directly outdoors, when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed. The root system of these popular flowers is pretty weak until they are matured, so transplanting is out of the question. Remove all unwanted plant life from your sowing area, turning the dirt, or replacing it with fresh soil. Sprinkle the seeds to the surface of the soil, on a calm day, making sure that no high winds can blow the tiny seeds away. Do not cover your Papaver rhoeas flower seeds as they require light to germinate properly. Pat down the soil to keep the seeds in place. |
Growing ConditionsPapaver rhoeas flowers will enjoy an area of full sunlight for the majority of the day and thrive in temperatures of around 70F. The soil should be well drained and can be average to rich, although it prefers sandy soils most. Areas that consist of hard, compact soil will retain too much moisture, so mixing a light compost is recommended for improved drainage. Water daily, with a mist setting, allowing the seeds to receive an adequate amount of moisture, without drowning the seeds or causing them to wash away. |
Germination & GrowthSeeds will begin to germinate within 14 to 28 days after sowing. The plants will reach a mature height of around 36 to 48 inches tall and can be spaced about 12 to 18 inches apart from one another. Wild Bee Balm produces lavender pink colored blooms that attract an array of beneficial insects including bumblebees & butterflies. |

Beautiful
I read the back of the package and per the instructions - threw them all over my front gravel before the first frost in AZ. By spring I had dozens of plants - I don’t officially know how many I have but nearing 40 at least.Each day a new variety opens and I get to enjoy a new flower.I should add I didn’t water these until they were maturing a great deal.

When you get your seeds, put them in a Ziploc bag and toss them in your fridge for at least 4 weeks or until you're ready to plant. Poppies like a cold period. Prepare your garden bed early in the winter (rake out all the leaves and leave the exposed soil bare, then after a snowfall (preferably late in the winter), sprinkle the poppy seeds over the snow. The seeds will settle into the soil as the snow melts, and in early summer, you'll be flush with poppies! If you don't live in a climate with freezing winters, then preparing them in the refrigerator for 3 months before planting is ideal to trick them into thinking they're in the right climate. They will be late to germinate and they will look like weeds until just before they bloom, so try not to forget you planted them & absent-mindedly rip them up before the payoff. Hope this helps! (I live in zone 6b). I was happy with these seeds... Every bloom was a gorgeous surprise, different in size, color, and form. Many of these even bloomed in part sun locations! (Poppies love gravely, sandy & well-drained soil)

I planted these last year around June of 2021 right after I received them. They didn’t bloom in 2021 but they just started blooming last week, June 25 2022. I think there’s a right time to plant these and I planted them late in 2021 so that’s why they are now growing in 2022. It’s worth it. I walk out every morning and see new flowers. It’s a delight - I don’t know what I’m going to get when I walk out in my garden every morning, but I know it’s new beauties every time.

I do not consider this a great value. I will plant again this fall from the remaining seeds. However, I had soooo much chickweed show up, they will not be planted in the ground. I will try a flat or pot of seeds.
Update: May 30, 2022. I have gotten more blooms. They are great if you plan to hunt for them. Not 12" as described, more like 4-6"! Some blooms no bigger than my thumbnail. They were dwarfed by surrounding weeks and zinnias.
Increasing from 1-3. We have enjoyed the blooma, but prertty underwhelming
Update: originally wrote this April 10, 2022.
Now, May 13, 2022... I've gotten one tiny poppy bloom and I'm seeing 2-3 more like this coming soon. STILL pulling out chickweed. Not much promise with this though. Certainly not very likely to see the fluffy pink blooms shown pictured on the product listing.
Purchased January 2022. I did cold stratification in a damp papertowel for 30 days. The seeds were already sprouting in the refrigerator. Poured them over the flower bed by March 1. Here they are April 9, looking like a very large patch of chickweed. Nothing looks close to Poppies yet. Even the package has conflicting information.
Why does it mention wild bee balm under germination and growth?
Very disappointed. I'm happy to update this if it proves me wrong, but these 'weeds' are taking up prime growing real estate. These 'seeds' are not looking much like poppy seeds.

Uodate: June 10, 2922. Final report 2022. 1 final single poppy bloom today. It is the largest and fluffiest, exactly what I THOUGHT I was getting, but still shorter. I've enjoyed a different bloom almost daily, but very disappointed overall.Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2022

I never leave reviews. I sowed these a a little late in the spring and I wasn’t sure how good they would even turn out. I should have sowed them at end of winter! I was worried they were weeds coming up at first but I was patient and then they started blooming! They were beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! It’s not rocket science you just sow them and water them and wait for them to bloom! I planted them in a garden area with other flowers. My only regret is not planting more in other areas around my house! These were a great purchase! I will buy again!
