GROWN IN SCOTLAND by Seeds of Scotland


Papaver somniferum

This variety is specifically bred for the harvest of its beautiful blue seeds. The plum coloured flowers appear earlier than most other varieties and the seed heads swell to golf ball size and do not open when ripe allowing you to harvest all the tasty seeds inside. Particularly nice as a tasty and nutritious addition to sweet or savoury baking. 

These plants produce 4 to 5 stems with per plant and grow to 80 to 90cm tall. 



 

Growing Info

Sowing: Sow in early spring for summer flowers. Direct sow in rows ~ 20cm apart, thin to 20/25cm between plants.  Poppies don't really like being transplanted due to their long taproots however it is possible to do so if you plant them out from trays when they are still quite small.

Germination: 93% Sep 2026
