Hi Floret!
I’m a huge fan and hope to buy some books later in the year from you!
I couldn’t find the info for type of soil for poppy seeds I got from you, iceland and breadseed.
And also as important, how deep does the dirt need to be?
I was going to leave open sides on a new bed but it’s only about 4-5 inches deep, so far, a mix of garden compost (topsoil, sand, leaf compost) and mushroom compost for which I have no idea what the ph is. the ground underneath is VERY hard and rocky and doubltful anything will penetrate it.
Thanks for any help you can give me, I appreciate y’all!!!!
Christine

In reply to Nicole.

We aren’t offering poppy seeds, but I’m sure you can find some through any of the seed suppliers we recommend in this blog post: https://www.floretflowers.com/international-specialty-seed-sources/.

I bought bread seed, Shirley and California poppies from you. Should I cold stratify them in the refrigerator before planting?

Under breadseed poppies you note they are papaver yet, this is not true or helpful, all poppies are that. are they not orientale or rhoeas.

Hi, I was wondering if you could share which varieties of poppies are edible? I love flowers and they can make our food so much more beautiful, but I never want to eat something I shouldn’t!
Thanks!

My breadseed poppy have been growing beautifully for 3 months in 5”nursery pots in my greenhouse and now are all of a sudden turning yellow from the bottom leaves and going up. What have I done wrong? I backed off on watering but that didn’t seem to be stopping the issue. Every single plant is doing this but maybe 3 and I planted 3 entire envelopes. Even the 20 or so o planted in the ground are doing this. And it started at the same time fit all of them.

In reply to TanyaEcodecor. Poppy seeds do not need to be stratified prior to planting.
