Papaver nudicaule

1 Ounce Mylar Packet – Iceland Poppy SeedsGold Vault Mylar Zip Packet As the name suggests, this hardy poppy comes from the arctic regions of North America and Europe. The first botanical records of this plant come from the mid-eighteenth century, most notably in Linnaeus’ landmark publication Species Plantarum in 1753. Because of its high tolerance of cold temperatures, this wildflower graces many roadsides and fields in Alaska and northern Canada. Direct sow in early spring, planting on the surface of the soil since this seed needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur within 10-14 days. Do not attempt to move seedlings, since they resent having their roots disturbed. For an early start, start the seed indoors in peat pots 6-8 weeks before the last frost and plant outdoors. These seeds are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and are also free from all Neonicotinoids. They are packaged in our superb Gold Mylar Mylar Zip Packaging, which gives the seeds the best storage possible, and allows you to reseal the bag for later use. The artwork and labels on the packet are loaded with information – many people comment that it is the most beautiful packet that they have ever seen. If you have never tried out our seeds before, this is your chance to experience something special!
