Extremely Rare!

Papaver Peony Flowering 

Huge Black Double Double Blooms

1000+ seeds. Twice as many as last year

 

 

These are the REAL thing!

Grown in my Garden!

The seeds are freshly harvested in 2009

You can't get them any fresher than this!

The photos are from a few years ago. I see no reason to add more, although I probably will, because I had such HUGE plants this year. Most were about 4' tall with multiple blooms. I have some beautiful pictures of them. If interested in seeing more photos, please let me know.

After the first and largest blooms fade, there are the "late blooming" secondary flowers which are just as spectacular, but not as large!

Produces Large, Unusual Shaped elongated seed capsules.

 The vents do not open up much so you must crack them to get the seeds out for re-seeding, or just let them rot in the ground.

Great for Fresh Floral arrangements

Long  Stems

The time to plant is NOW!

2009 flowers are as brilliant as the year before!

This is my 6th year for the black poppies. They are coming back year after year and I am always amazed at their beauty.  I also started 2 new areas of Black Poppies so I would have more seed. I love to cut them for use in fresh floral arrangements. They are stunning when combined with Peonies.



These seeds are fresh from my garden and are what is left after giving them to my friends to "Poppylate" the world!

My seeds are home grown. Don't be fooled by sellers that are buying them at the grocery store (or other seed growers) and labeling them as home grown poppies just to make a sale. There are only a handful sellers on ebay who grow their own seeds, and I am one of them. I have been selling on ebay for about 11 years now.

This auction is for Black only. I also have many other colors. . The seeds germinate freely once they are sown or released from their pod.  Unlike other poppies in this group, the black ones just don't produce very many seeds. The vents do not open so you must break them apart to get to the seeds, or just cut off the seed head and let it compost on the ground.


Naturally resistant to Predators. Deer proof.

Germination testing on this years seeds were a complete sucess. I have about 98% germination

I will send 1/4 teaspoon which is about 1000 seeds. This is twice the number I had last year! No, I'm not counting them, but you can. The listing is for a measurement only and not an actual seed count, although if you DO want to count them, I would appreciate knowing how many are in a 1/4 teaspoon! I will include planting instructions with every order.

Shipping: Buyer pays shipping. I will gladly combine shipping on 2 or more items. I charge $2.00 for the first bag of seeds and then .50 for each bag of seeds thereafter up to a maximum shipping amount of $7.50 for anything under 50 bags of seeds.

I do NOT make money on shipping! My costs are outlined below

I use only padded bubble mailers and send them as a parcel. This means in addition to the cost of the padded mailer (.49 each) and small baggies (.10 each), labels, ink etc, I also pay the surcharge for non-machinable parcel ($1.31 for a 1 ounce parcel, plus .48 cents for each additional ounce) and delivery confirmation fee(.18cents to 80cents).  There have been at least 2 postal increases since I first posted the above info.

Checkout: I use checkout only. I do not send after auction e-mails. It is the buyers responsiblity to complete the checkout form within 3 days of the auction's end.

International Buyers – Please Note:

  • Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.
  • Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

My seeds are guaranteed to be viable. They are easy to grow, however Your results could vary so I urge you to read my planting and growing guide to give you the best possible chance for success

Please, If you plan to buy my seeds to re-sell, I respectfully request that you do NOT use my photos, my descriptions, my backgrounds or my planting instructions to do so. It against eBay policy and will be enforced. I hate to put warnings like this and apologize, but unfortunately I have had to put this disclaimer on my auctions as several so called "seed sellers" have started doing this. It takes a lot of work to prepare my gardens, plant my seeds, harvest seeds, store and package them.
