Under breadseed poppies you note they are papaver yet, this is not true or helpful, all poppies are that. are they not orientale or rhoeas.

Hi, I was wondering if you could share which varieties of poppies are edible? I love flowers and they can make our food so much more beautiful, but I never want to eat something I shouldn’t!
Thanks!

My breadseed poppy have been growing beautifully for 3 months in 5”nursery pots in my greenhouse and now are all of a sudden turning yellow from the bottom leaves and going up. What have I done wrong? I backed off on watering but that didn’t seem to be stopping the issue. Every single plant is doing this but maybe 3 and I planted 3 entire envelopes. Even the 20 or so o planted in the ground are doing this. And it started at the same time fit all of them.

Good afternoon. Thank you for your articles. You inspire the whole world. Please tell me, how do you prepare seeds before sowing? Stratify?

In reply to Katherine. You can plant them in the fall as they're a hardy perennial.

Hello, I was just wondering about Papaver Orientale? I don’t know when to sew, would they fit into one of the categories above?

Hi Floret!! I have some of your Shirley and Breadseed poppies. I am trying to decide when to direct sow them here in zone 9b. Since we have such warm and sunny autumns that run into early November at times, would I be safe to direct sow them in the beginning of September? Thank you!

I just found your page (Thank you Google) and I just have to say THANK YOU!!!! I can’t wait to dive deep into everything you’ve put out for us newbies to learn. I already have a better understanding of some of my flowers in the short time I’ve browsed.
