100+ White and Red Mix Poppy Seeds-Papaver Rhoeas-P. Somniferum-P. Nudicaule-B264-Canadian Pride Mix Poppy Flower-Divinely Beautiful Annual!
Show the beauty of Canada by planting Canada Mix poppy seeds for a mix of red and white beautiful poppy flowers in the summer (from June to September). This mix looks so nice in large plantings, and it will fill by self sowing over time. Sow the seeds in early spring, while there is still a risk of frost, and repeat twice at six week intervals. This will produce a much longer bloom time than from a single sowing. Otherwise, sow them in the fall, once nights are getting cold, and they will bloom the following summer.
These poppies are very easy to grow, and they'll reach a knee-high height of 40-60cm (15-25"). Latin Papaver nudicaule (perennial), P. rhoeas & P. somniferum (both annual) Family: Papaveraceae Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Timing Start perennial poppies outdoors in early spring, when some chance of frost is still a possibility. Start annual varieties outdoors at the same time in Zones 3-7. In Zones 8-10, the best bet is to direct sow in the fall. Poppies are famously difficult to transplant, so starting them indoors is not recommended. If absolutely necessary, use peat or coir pots, and maintain a soil temperature of 12°C (55°F). Seeds will sprout in 21-28 days. Starting Sow on the surface of the soil, or barely cover seeds.
