American Legion Poppy Seeds - 5000 Premium Non-GMO Flower Seeds

American Legion Corn Poppies are easy to grow from seed and can be sown outdoors in the early spring or late fall. To increase visibility during sowing, mix 1 part seeds with 5 parts sand. Poppies will thrive in full sun; but don't like high humidity or intense summer heat. Water occasionally. Harvest Corn Poppies when the flowers have just opened. For best results, gently strip foliage that will fall below the vase's water level. Deadhead faded blossoms to encourage additional growth. If blooms are left on, poppies will often self-sow for future seasons.

Brilliant Red Blooms - One of summer's most radiant flowers, delicate and vivid red poppies evoke feelings of remembrance and joy.

Freshly Packed - These seeds are packed for the current growing season and will provide high germination rates next year as well.

Flowers Your Way - Poppies work well planted with other flower varieties in mixed wildflower gardens; or planted separately to create a field of bright, crimson red.

Premium Packaging - All seeds from The Old Farmer's Almanac are packaged in individually styled packets ideal for gifts, storage or immediate use. Each packet displays the flower, vegetable, plant or herb variety on the front with instructions and plant facts on the back.

They prefer rich soil that is slightly moist; but well drained. Broadcast the resulting blend over your planting area; and gently rake it in before tamping down to ensure good contact with the soil.
