- Margaret D.NC, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3/22/26So many plants!
I decided to freeze them in ice cubes and stomp the cubes into the soil in January. Now I have an ABSURD amount of plants in my front yard.

Really good experiece with the company! They had actually semt me a free pack of seeds in addition to the poppies. I did not realize and thought i got the wrong pack. I emailed and they immediately said they would get me the right thing. Shortly after, i realized it was me who lade the mistake and not them. They were nice when i corrected myself. Lovely people over there
