FREE: Red Poppy 50+ seeds

The listing, Red Poppy 50+ seeds has ended.

The small, fragile, brilliantly red poppy is probably the world's most popular wildflower.
The Red Poppy is the small-size annual species (only about 12" to 14" tall with blooms from 2" to 3" wide) that is sometimes called "Shirley Poppy", "Flanders Poppy," "American Legion Poppy."

Planting the seeds.

Poppy seeds are very small. Of course you've seen them in a muffin or on a bagel, same thing. The best way to plant them is to sprinkle them right on top of the soil. This can be done by taking a pinch in your fingers and sprinkling, or another way is to mix sand with the seeds and broadcast. Then, just tamp the soil down over them with your hands or feet. The object of this phase is to NOT get them all together in bunches. The seeds WILL come up every where you put them and if you put them too close together you will have a carpet of microscopic seedlings that won't grow very large because they have too much competition. Poppies do Not transplant easily. Plant them where you want them to be.
