Growing poppies from seed


It's so easy to grow Poppies. These are the unripe seed heads of Papaver somniferum.
There is no point collecting seeds from pods like this because they are still unripe and won't grow.
You can read more about when to collect the seeds at Country Garden UK

It's worth waiting then collecting ripe seed because Poppies are a lovely addition to any garden. They come in all shades of pink and red from the palest pastel pink, through bright pink to deepest red.


Do you grow poppies in your garden?

I'd love to know which is your favourite.
