best time for poppies

im gonna grow some of these fuckers and ik it says to plants it when it cold so is this time of year the best???

im getting like 10,000 Tasmanian poppies and im planning to make some tea from the pods not opium or heroin just some tea


the weather is gonna be 25 tomorrow then drop to 9 degrees but it will stay about freezing for most of the winter im thinking so is now the best time to sow the seeds???

You'll prolly fuck it up, just give me the seeds and I make u happy with harvest

hahaha no

but what is the best time to plant em

anyways u can get 1000s of seeds on ebay for a few bucks

they veg under 12/12 and flower with longer day times. white tasmins are potentially dangerous because of the wide range of thebaine and opium thats going to be in them, some can be strong as fuck and other weak as fuck. the best way to take them is with a poppy pod tea. good luck i guess

You must plant them in starter trays in early spring. Tossing them in the dirt won't work unless you have handfuls of seeds.

Tough to transplant seedlings, their roots break. Sow them now unless you are in very cold climate.

Or you can plant them in the egg carton type flats so you don't worry about roots duh

The roots are fragile no matter what you put them in,duh.

Depends where u buy em...many perennial sellers won't ship till its planting time. Seeds can be sown indoors early then planted outdoors in late spring.
P.somniferum is the opium poppy. Personally I just like all the different colored hybrids.

Orange Californians are very pretty...

Yes, pretty, but otherwise ineffective.

Break it up in several seedings between now and spring.

Poppy seeds can lay dormant for years. That is where the red poppies the veterans wear come from. Its based on a battle where the Shelling and explosions disturbed the ground and fields of poppies bloomed.

I grew up in an arborists household,his girl had a doctorate of horticulture from va tech,and both ran their own landscaping service...I appreciate ALL flora...
Really like iris and loriapi flowers..big and small...beautiful...

@rory420420 yea me too. Gotta hard on for some plants though...Southern Magnolia is probably my favorite species. The female fruit is cool. The flower is sweet as shit. Heres a pic I took in a customers garden.
Dont mean to derail. The alcohol made me do it.

I have a 3 story tall one on the right side of my patio..beautiful flowers,smells..but,the tough leaves dont decompose easy,and no matter what season,something ALLWAYS falls from those trees..either its seeds,seed pods or leaves..and the tough leaves dont decompose fast,nor the pods..its cool tho,the constant clean up is worth the beauty,my kids have a great tree for swings,and ive got a mulching mower

I can smell that flower from here
