Iceland Poppy 3500 Flower Seeds Papaver nudicaule

Key Features

• WHAT VARIETY AM I GETTING? This is Papaver nudicaule, the Iceland Poppy, an open-pollinated, non-GMO variety offering a nine-color pastel mix in white, cream, yellow, gold, salmon, apricot, orange, pink, and rose.
• WHAT COLORS WILL BLOOM? Iceland Poppy produces single saucer-shaped blooms 2–4 in. across, with crinkled tissue-paper petals and golden stamens, in white, cream, yellow, gold, salmon, apricot, orange, pink, and rose.
• HOW EASY IS THIS TO GROW, AND WILL IT GERMINATE? Iceland Poppy seeds need light to germinate, so press them onto the soil surface without burying, and they germinate at 60–65°F in 14–21 days when sown in early spring or fall in zones 8+.
• HOW SHOULD I PLANT AND SPACE THEM? Surface sow Iceland Poppy seeds without covering, and thin seedlings to 8–10 in. spacing, since the taproot resents disturbance and direct sowing is always preferred.
• WHAT CARE DO THEY NEED ONCE ESTABLISHED? Iceland Poppy needs minimal care: deadhead to extend the bloom period, or leave seed pods to mature for natural reseeding, and expect wiry, leafless stems to rise 12–18 in. above a blue-green basal foliage rosette.
• WHERE WILL THESE THRIVE, AND WHAT CAN I USE THEM FOR? Iceland Poppy thrives in full sun with well-drained sandy or loamy soil (pH 5.5–7.5) across USDA Zones 2–10, suited to cutting gardens, cottage gardens, borders, and containers, and attracts honey bees, bumblebees, and butterflies as an early-season pollen source.
• HOW MANY SEEDS DO I GET, AND ARE THEY SAFE TO PLANT? Each pack contains 3,500 open-pollinated, non-GMO Iceland Poppy seeds, grown as an annual or biennial that self-sows reliably season after season when pods are left to mature.
