FREE: "True" Persian Blue Poppy Papaver Somniferum Seeds

The listing, "True" Persian Blue Poppy Papaver Somniferum Seeds has ended.

These are the true Persian Blue Poppies that grow up to 4 feet tall, the original seeds were brought back to me by a friend serving in Iraq. This classic poppy produce gorgeous violet colored flowers with dark centers. It is the closest to the wild type of moon poppies and because it is less domesticated, it is hardier than other varieties. Its pods are also more oval-shaped, smaller, and darker than those of other poppy varieties. The pods are excellent for creating dried flower arrangements, and the slate blue seeds taken from the pod can be used in both baking and middle-eastern cooking. Warning: Eating too many of these poppy seeds could cause you to fail a drug screening.
These seeds are Non-GMO and were Organically Grown in my back yard during the 2013 season.
