    Big, strong plants. I am in Zone 9b and sowed these seeds in November/December! I direct sowed using a variety of different methods so I can’t say much for the germination rate. I find I prefer to buy different seeds from different companies bc different flowers are more value-priced at different companies. From the poppy seeds I ordered from Bakers Creek and Migardener, BI definitely had the most for the price! Lots of room for error.

    First time planting poppy seeds. Took about 3 months from planting seeds to seeing blooms. Flowers have been blooming for the past month - so pretty! I'm in Zone 9b.
