Poppy Seeds Papaver Somniferum GIGANTHIUM 500 seed
-
Reserve met
- Closed: Sat 21 Nov 2009, 9:08 pm
- Listing #: 254633271
In each packet you will get a heaped spoon of seeds which is between 500-700 seeds.
one of the strains behind this particular Poppy has been in our garden at Akaroa since the late 1800's.
It has been growing and self planting so the strain is strong and pure.
The flowers are a deep pink, about the size of a giganthium. It grows up to 6ft (but this varies depending on the conditions)
Giganthium hybrid (stable)
They are spectacular looking flowers which give medium to large pods.
They attract bees like crazy !!
It is best to plant these where you want them to grow.
Transplanting can be done from seed trays but the poppies tap root grows very long, fast. This root cant be disturbed. If it is the plant will be stunted.
The best trays to plant in are the singular plug trays.
Thin the poppies out as they grow and you can get up to 10-36 pods per plant (seriously... this is an incredible strain when cared for properly).
While obviously I cant guarantee you will get these results, you have a far higher chance of replicating them by using this seed and following the conditions that they were grown in. (the ones in the picture were grown in a pot with a lemon tree !)
Feel free to ask any questions you'd like !
I also have mutant Reds (I got 86 pods off one plant !), Tasmanian Giants, and Regular Red ones which are very prolific ! Check out my other auctions for these.
Growing instructions & tips are on each packet and also at http://opiumpoppies.co.nz/ site has been updated !
(TM compliant)
GUARANTEED GERMINATION WHEN INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED :D
Seeds arrived in ziplocked bags with instructions inside (as on pics). If your mail has a habit of getting soaked, let me know and I will waterproof it.
Please ask any questions you have !
