Poppy ‘Giganthemum ‘ Giant Pods
Papaver somniferum. The very largest poppy flowers appear in early summer, (see short video) followed by the very largest seed heads which are stunning in arrangements. The huge seed head is chock full of edible poppy seeds for baking. This is an easy plant to grow, but you'll want to give it some room in full sun, in soil that is well drained and not too fertile. Direct sow the tiny seeds on the surface of the soil and keep the area moist until germination. They need light to germinate. The massive flower stems grow 90-120cm (36-48") tall, topped by flowers around 10cm (4") across. Bees love these!

Poppy ‘Hens ‘n Chicks ‘
Papaver somniferum This ancient form of poppy is perhaps the most unique variety of all! It has amazing large pink blooms, but the very cool thing is clusters of mini pods that surround the primary seed pod! The name refers to its resemblance to a hen being surrounded by her chicks. Highly coveted by fine florists who use the unusual seed heads in arrangements.

Poppy ‘Sallies Double’
Sallie's Double Pink has large, gorgeous heads that are sure to capture your heart, thriving both in sun or partial shade. Poppies will readily re-seed without becoming a nuisance, perfectly dotting your landscape with their resilience for years to come. These seeds came to America in the pocket of a Turkish immigrant-become-professor who moved next door to Sallie, who fancied her neighbour's elegantly ebullient poppies. He offered her seeds which she grew for years, passing seeds on to her son who, in turn, has been growing them for years and sharing them. Now they are shared with you! Papaver somniferum var. paeoniflorum
