Seed Needs Hens & Chicks Poppy Seeds for Planting - Heirloom & Open Pollinated Annual Wildflowers - Beautiful Poppies to Attract Pollinators to a Butterfly Garden (1 Pack)

I got these seeds to sprout within a couple or a few days, just the other day. I figure that I would try and sidestep the planting seasons and induce micro-ecological temperature controls upon the seeds, per pot, since I'm trying an indoors growing setting, with a sandy clay peat and coconut coir medium, as a special potting soil preparation. I've grown poppies before, and I know that they can be fussy, so I'm trying to take good care of them. That being the case, I don't have super high expectations for the project, for that matter. I'm just trying to whet my chops, so to speak, in terms of studying and practicing the husbandry and care of these plants, and I might try them in a more diverse setting, this upcoming season, if I feel that the space, as well as my self, capably, can handle the plants throughout an entire growing season - because if something goes wrong, at all, during the growing and flowering / seeding season, the whole project becomes a disappointment, at least, a little bit, for the time being. I figure that I have to be patient, in order for this project to work out, but I purchased 5 packs of seeds, here, on account of my optimism :)

I had a difficult time with these - not one plant grew.

The germinated right .

Germination rate is really high and growing well. About 30 days in and good amount of plants. Hoping to harvest in the next 2 months. I'll update with some photos once the bulbs grow.Start planting when still freezing outside or put the seeds in an ice mold with water to freeze.

I knew it was a long shot, to plant ( during summer)Going to sow late fallI’ll update.

None have germinated after 7 weeks. They were planted at the correct time in late March, just before our last snowfall in Central Maine. Seems like they might be sterile? Two stars because I am trying to remain optimistic!

Seeds never germinated. I don't understand why these poppies didn't germinate. This is the second season I tried. I did it by the book this time too.

Liked the cost and the fast shipping. Following instructions and allowing to chill for 2 weeks, then will see if I get some flowers for the gardens.
