This is a pom pom style bread seed poppy in the papaver lacinatum with double blooms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL ZONES ARE CREATED EQUAL. WHAT IS LISTED BELOW IS A GENERAL GUIDE. THERE ARE PARTS OF THE MIDWEST, NE AND DESERT LIKE AREAS IN THE WEST THAT ARE IN ZONES 5-7 THAT GET VERY HOT SUMMERS AND THERE ARE PARTS OF OR, WA AND CA IN ZONES 8-10 THAT HAVE VERY COOL WEATHER WHERE THESE CAN BE GROWN YEAR ROUND. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO CHECK IS THE TEMPERATURES NEEDED FOR GERMINATION AND GROWING. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZones 3-7 Sow in spring when all danger of frost has passed. You can even sow in summer you just won’t get to enjoy them quite as long although they LOVE cool weather and will continue to flourish and bloom even in light frosts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZones 8: Plant in spring or fall. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZones 9A: Plant between October and March. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZones 9B+: Yes, you can grow these! However, you must plant in November or December, January at the very latest. Any later and they will germinate but you will sadly watch them wither and die as the days get warmer in March and April.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal germination is between 46 and 80 degrees. Optimal growing temperatures are between 50-77 degrees although they can handle cooler than this, they will just grow slower. You can check your highs and lows by month to determine the best time to plant for your climate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you want the seeds while you can get them but it’s not your time to plant, the seeds can easily be kept in an airtight container(The packet I send them in is fine and is a food grade plastic) and then a paper bag to block light and placed in your refrigerator. They can last for several years this way if properly stored. Seeds will remain dormant until you are ready to plant. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100 (measured by volume) Organic, Non GMO Seeds - Certified Organic by MOFGA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePoppies prefer NOT to be fertilized.
