Zamnesia - Poppy Seeds: Grow Poppy At Home
Papaver somniferum, better known as opium poppy, is the flowering plant from which opium and poppy seeds are derived. It is believed that the plant was initially cultivated in the Eastern Mediterranean, although its exact origins are shrouded in mystery.
The flowering poppy plant is native to Western Asia and Southeast Europe. In these areas of the world, the plant is often cultivated, but it can also be found growing in the wild. Aside from being a source for making opiates, poppy is also grown for the seeds that you can find on various baked goods.
OPIUM POPPY CHARACTERISTICS
The opium poppy is a hardy annual that can reach a height of about 1 metre. The plant flowers in summer and sheds its seeds a few months later in autumn. The flower of the plant can take on various colours, including shades of red, purple, pink, and white. It makes a beautiful ornamental that looks great in any garden.
HOW TO GROW OPIUM POPPY FROM SEED
Papaver somniferum is a hardy weed without any special requirements—this makes the plants very easy to grow. You can plant the poppy seeds indoors in pots, or sow directly into soil outdoors, provided you allow the plants enough space for their roots to grow and ensure good water drainage.
The best time to plant your seeds is between September and April. Should you live in a climate with a cold winter, it is recommended that you wait until early spring to avoid frost. For germinating your poppy seeds, you can simply toss them onto fertilised soil and cover them slightly. Keep the soil humid and watered well until you see the seeds sprouting. This will usually take a week. Make sure you do not overwater to prevent fungus growth and rot.

Papaver Somniferum Seeds
Bought these for a friend, and they’re growing incredibly fast—almost invasive, in the best possible way! Germination rate was excellent, and they seem to thrive with minimal effort. Perfect for anyone curious about ornamental or botanical cultivation. Just be sure to give them some space—they like to take over!
Ottimi come sempre !
È già il secondo anno che acquisto i semi di papaver somniferum Zamnesia. Hanno un indice di germinazione del 90/95%. Le piante dell'anno scorso quest'anno sono fiorite di nuovo regalandomi delle capsule grosse quanto un albicocca e alte circa 180cm ! Quelle di quest'anno sono più piccole ma comunque sui 130 centimetri. Per ottenere questo risultato consiglio di mettere i semi in un semenzaio, uno per cella e poi di spostarli direttamente nel terreno a una distanza di 30/40 centimetri tra pianta e pianta e il risultato è assicurato!
Yeeeeee
All germinating in garden
