Brief beauty, long-lasting health.

Gorgeous poppy petals, as thin and delicate as crepe paper, don't last long. The seeds, however, are vessels of endurance. Rich in omega-3s, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, a wide range of vitamins, and all of the essential amino acids, poppy seeds are exceptionally nutritious, contributing to health and, it is said, to longevity. Used in culinary creations all over the world as a spice, condiment, garnish, and dessert base, poppies yield hundreds of thousands of seeds from just a few plants.

This mix is taller than the Mother of Pearl Poppy, with bigger seed pods and a longer season of bloom. Colors range from pink to lilac.

Includes a variety of pink, purple, blue and scarlet poppies.

Growing instructions

For best results, winter sow poppy seeds or sow in very early spring in a prepared garden bed. Thin seedlings to 12-18" apart. Alternately, start indoors in early spring by pressing the seeds into the soil, but do not cover them. Keep in a cool place. Transplant when small without disturbing the roots. Once flowering, water infrequently.

About the artist

Artwork by Girija Kaimal. The tissue paper-like transparency of poppy petals is captured through Girija's style of scratching through layers of pastels and paints. The ephemeral feeling of her work reflects the blooms that open and float away within a day.

I planted poppies for the first time in 2021. I followed the directions for sowing outdoors in late winter (zone 6b) in March. I was able to collect a bunch of poppy seed for baking from about six plants - enough for poppy bagels every once in awhile.

great germination

I was recommended to shop for seeds here but I find the website hard to manage and it doesn't give you enough info to buy. I would have to open up a new web browser and do more research to find out if will grow in my area and what kind of care it needs and if they need to be cold stratified, germinates in darkness or needs light and when to start them in my area before knowing if I can purchase them. Too much work.

Hi Stephanie. We're sorry to hear you're having difficulties with the website. We do provide growing instruction for all of our seeds including seed depth, and stratification requirements if needed. Under the quick facts section you can find the days to maturity, plant size, and hardiness zone (for perennials and biennials). You can find those tabs by scrolling down to the bottom of the product page. I hope this helps!

Thank you Hudson Valley Seed Co! Can't say enough how impressed I was by your customer service. I ordered these poppy seeds, when I received them the seed packet was completely empty and I was pretty let down. I emailed HVSC the night before thanksgiving and received a full seed packet the following Monday. I was extremely impressed by their customer service and how quickly they corrected the error. Great company to support!

Love it!

Gorgeous 'Art Packs'! great variety- can't wait to see my flowers come up this year!

I bought this seed pack as a gift for a gardener. It was so much more special to have Hudson Valley seeds with the artist seed pack.
