FREE: Hungarian Breadseed Poppy - Heirloom *homegrown poppyseeds*

The listing, Hungarian Breadseed Poppy - Heirloom *homegrown poppyseeds* has ended.

This listing is for a min of 25 Hungarian Breadseed Poppy seeds. The amount is just the bare min; I always send plenty extra. This hardy heirloom variety produces urn shaped pods of steel blue seeds with a very fresh, nutty-sweet taste.

This Easternmost European stain has luminous, ethereal white or pale lavender-pink petals with dark blue center blotches and blue-green toothed leaves. After the flowers bloom in spring and early summer, they drop their petals and form fat, urn shaped pods full of seeds. Let them turn brown and harden before snipping them off and storing in an open paper bag. When they completely dry, crack open and removed seeds to freezer to keep fresh.

It is recommended to directly sow outside in early spring. Seeds will overwinter and germinate when soil thaws. Blossoms and pods are largest when grown in cool temperatures. Barely cover in a finely textured, worked bed sowing as thinly as possible. Thin early if too dense but delay final 6" to 8" spacing until weather has settled. 7 to 14 day germination time. Full sun.

I started some inside a little bit ago. They were to quick germinate. They are growing quickly but if they don't have a strong light and a fan blowing them slightly, they get spindly and aren't able to support themselves and the emerging leaves. They are said to do very well during the early spring and can take the cooler weather. Also, dont be afraid to thin them to the full 6" to 8" as they will get bigger and fill out the space allotted.
