Description
‘Persian Blue’ Papaver somniferum Poppy Seeds
Freshly Harvested for this grow season!
ALL our Poppy Seeds are:
100% Organic | Untreated | Unwashed
True “Somniferum” Poppy Seeds !!
The seeds you will receive were harvested from the same flowers shown in our Photos within this listing, which is what you can expect your end result to look like when planted.
All IMAGES and VIDEOS are of our OWN, ‘Garden Grown‘ Plants, from which these Seeds are derived.
These flowers have deep purple flowers! Very beautiful & high yielding.
Our seeds are NEVER store bought. We have been farming poppies for many years and breed our own strains.
I use special techniques to prevent cross-pollination.
Seeds guaranteed to arrive uncrushed and in tact. Can be planted in Fall or Spring.
The powers of the poppy have been known since at least 3400 B.C., when the Sumerians called it ‘Hul Gil’, the ‘flower of joy.’ It has also been variously called the Sacred Anchor Of Life, Milk Of Paradise, the Hand Of God, and Destroyer Of Grief.

I LOVE the color of these flowers and I got excellent results. Some blooms were almost Neon Blue in Color. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes and really wished I had a camera at the time, but there’s walkways next year.
Anyways, great germination. Great Blooms.
But be sure you see their “How to Grow Poppies” Tutorial in their Blog section. Without it, I would have failed 🙁
THanks!

My germination rate for the seeds was maybe 50% and most plants were on the smallish side but a few came out spectacular. Some grew to over 4′ with the tallest at 5’8″. The flowers are amazing, very colorful ranging from mid-purple with darker spots to a very dark purple, almost black flower.

Thanks for the Review. As you’ll notice today (6/16/2019), we’re actually SOLD OUT now. You may have bought the last pack! But luckily, we’ve got a Fresh Batch growing this Season, so their Germination Rate will be close to 95% when restocked.
Part of the reason why we Sold Out of these (about 3 weeks ago), was because we had them Priced down to a Discounted Rate (since they were a couple Season’s old- which may explain the Low Germ. %).
But ya, their SIZE usually depends on SPACE, Light, & Time. The more they have of each, the bigger they’ll get. SEE our BLOG for Many of our Tips & TUTORIALS
THANKS!!

I bought from a few different vendors this year, and ONLY Organical Botanicals’ seeds gave me any seedlings/growths. And super quickly, too. I planted both in pot and in the garden box to compare growth rate and seedlings–and the seeds in the pot popped peas the next day, and grew profusely within a few days. Figuring out how to transplant them now that they’re quickly growing is another thing to figure out altogether since I wasn’t very mindful of that possibility 😉 Overall very, very impressed. The owner is also very nice and re-sent my parcel when the first failed to deliver. I’m a customer for life when it comes to my poppy box! 🙂 Thanks so much guys.

I purchased these in 2022 and they were nice. I think I got a good 80% germination rate out of the pack. Make sure to plant enough to collect seeds for the next year because it can be hard to find these.
