After Midnight Poppy | Experimental Farm Network

Papaver somniferum Origin: Philomath, Oregon Improvement status: Cultivar Seeds per packet: ~100 Germination tested 10/2024: 82% Life cycle: Annual If you're looking for a strikingly dark flower to grace your garden, look no further! This lovely poppy bred by Frank Morton and Wild Garden Seeds is gorgeous and tasty too! As Frank puts it, "Four petals in the deepest darkest midnight violet." He also notes that the pods do not open pores, so the chocolate brown seeds are retained for harvest. Please note: all plant parts except the seeds are toxic. Poppies are easy to grow and beautiful. Start them early — the seedlings like it cold! This variety carries the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI) pledge. Provided by Experimental Farm Network.
