Product Description
PAPAVER: Delicate blossoms of Poppies have enchanted us for generations. Large paper-thin petals form a bowl around their ornamental centers. The blossoms are a favorite for butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. Sunlight makes their translucent petals positively glow with color. * The "Hens and Chickens" Poppy has large, lilac flowers followed by seedpods that are arranged as a large pod surrounded by several small pods like a mother hen & her chicks. Extremely decorative, they are in much demand for dried flower arrangements.

I ordered 5 poppy varieties from 'One Stop Poppy Shoppe', and recieved them very fast. They arrived very well labeled, with pictures and names on each package. (Included was a sixth package, a thank you gesture?). Included was growing instructions, and a brief history of poppies. This is July, so I haven't planted them yet. The mix will make a very interesting garden, something the neighbors don't have.

Very fast shipping. Had a problem with the post office employees not being able to add 44 and 44 together. No wonder the USPS is failing. Anyway, got exactly what I ordered and even an extra little present!!!! Would definitely order from this place again and again.
Great service! December 2, 2009

I ordered several varieties of poppies from the seller. Shipping was immediate, packaging adequate, good information with shipment, and included a free pack of seeds of another variety. Seller is courteous and prompt. It will be a few months yet before sowing, so germination is an unknown. Looking forward to trying it out.
Revisit afterward: No trouble with germination, plants got larger than stated; about 6 feet tall with 8 inch blooms. This means I planted them too close together, and aphids became a terrible problem. The oddly shaped pods made lovely places for aphids to hide, and they pretty well destroyed the plants...but I still got a wonderful display of blooms and a load of seeds for cooking. If you order these, be aware they can get big and pest eradication can be a problem. I'll be switching to the simpler bloom forms for next year.
Best Price, Excellent quality, Reliable Vendor! March 10, 2010
