Hi,

Does anyone have any California poppy seeds?? I do have some giant poppy seeds I could swap.

Thanks,
Karen

Hi Karen,

Got a good collection off my pink california poppy last autumn so could send you some if you pm me with an address. Will include my address in the packet I send or could pm you if you prefer

Hi there, welcome to the vine; hope you find a comfy seat here and enjoy it.

I have some yellow/orange california poppy plants which were given me last year and will let you have some seed from them later in the year if that's any use.

I've only got normal red and big purple poppy seeds at the moment. Let me know if you'd like any of those (but they are in a mixed bag).

Hi Karen,

Posted seeds yesterday, sorry for the delay.

Enjoy

Hi Karen,

I know it's now two months since your original post, but please forgive a newbie! Do you have enough calif poppy seeds, or would you like a few more - mixed oranges, yellows (& maybe a couple of bronzed ones mixed in)?

If so, please PM me & I will be more than happy to post (mine now self seed reliably every year).

Cheerio,

Reb

MadderBat or TPeers - I have a single CP that is blooming and blooming but not making seed. I think! What does it look like please - seed heads that is.

About 1" - 2" long round & pointed. My CPs have seed heads but they are still green I think thet go black when right!

Thanks Bubbles, don't have any of them then. Do they need a little friend with whom to polinate, do you think. My one is all alone.
Looks like I need to send someone to Lidl for me.

I hope that this thread comes to the top again.
I have found some CPs going to seed in a comunal garden so am stealing a few.
Next question: when do I plant them or do I just throw them in and let nature...

If they are like our red poppies the grow better on freshly tilled soil they can also remain dormant for a year or so!

Thanks Bubbles, think I will do half and half, plant some save some.
