These highly controversial poppies have been cultivated by people for centuries, dating back to at least the time of the Egyptians. Since then they have been selectively bred to enhance their natural qualities. These are the same infamous poppies grown in regions like Afghanistan, Turkey, and Pakistan. These are grow meticulously by myself in the USA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These Afghan poppies are a single pod variety. Because of this you can plant them much closer to one another to maximize your growing space. They are narrow plants, not wide and bushy. They are very resistant to wind which is the biggest threat to poppies. It's a sad day finding your patch laid flat from a thunderstorms winds. Not these guys. They grow to approx 4 feet tall, with huge juicy pods. Plant them away from other poppy varieties, and you will have enough of your own seed to last a lifetime. Or plant them together and make your own hybrid!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Loosen your garden soil with a tiller or hoe in mid winter. Rake the soil flat. Sprinkle your seeds on top of the soil and gently water. That's it! You're done. When temperatures reach the 50's in early spring, you will see baby poppies. Thin plants to 6-8\" apart, weed between your plants, and you will have a beautiful piece of the Wizard of Oz in your own backyard by early spring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am also offering the very sought after Queens Poppy.
