XL Mylar Packet - Red Poppy SeedsGold Vault Mylar Zip Packet Carl Linnaeus first described the classic red poppy in 1753 in his landmark publication Species Plantarum. In spite of rumors to the contrary, this particular poppy does not contain opium, but rather a mild sedative. This explains the poppy's association with sleep in ancient mythology and legend. During World War I, this wildflower's abundant growth in the meadows of Europe inspired the well-known poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae; as a result, the red blossoms become a timeless symbol of remembrance and fallen soldiers. The genus name "Papaver" comes from the Latin word for "milk," referring to the white sap in the stem, while the species name "rhoeas" means "red." Sow seeds in late fall or as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Plant just below the surface, lightly compacting the soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which usually occurs within 10-20 days. Do not attempt to move seedlings, since they resent having their roots disturbed. 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!
