Papaver Somniferum

Huge Fringe "Purple Haze"

Lilac Fringe Pom Pom Petals

Grown in my Garden!

Large Blooms

Hundreds of seeds!

The seeds are freshly harvested from last summer's (2009) flowers.

You can't get them any fresher than this.

I have named them "Purple Haze"

The color is a hazy lilac. If they look pink on your monitor, they are not, as you can see in the picture looking at the pink one behind it.

Produces Large, Pumpkin shaped Pods

Great for Fresh Floral arrangements or Drying

Long Straight Stems

 The time to start planting is NOW!

2009 flowers are as brilliant as the year before! 

They have been coming back as gorgeous as the year before, year after year!

Below is a picture of my garden featuring Pink Flamingo Feathers which can be found by looking at my other listings!

 



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 and labeling them as home grown  poppies just to make a sale. There are only about 3 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 "Purple Haze" Lilac Fringe only. I also have other colors. Including my black peony.   The seeds germinate freely and you will never have to buy them again, unless you want other colors. Your plants will produce so many seeds that they can be easily used for baking, hence the nickname "breadseed poppies".

Naturally resistant to Predators. Deer proof.

Germination testing on this years seeds were a complete sucess. I have about 95% germination

I will send 1/8 teaspoon which is probably  1000 or more seeds. I'm not counting them, you can. I will include planting instructions upon request.

It is next to impossible to count poppy seeds. I do not count seeds.. It always amazes me when people sell 12 seeds, or 25 seeds or even 100.. I measure and you will receive the measurement I have specified above

The generally accepted measurements are as follows:

1/8th teaspoon - 1000 - 1200 seeds

1/4th teaspoon - 2000 - 2500 seeds

1/2 teaspoon - 5000 or more seeds

The above seed count is an average for ALL poppy seeds. I am selling them by the measuring spoon method only and do not guarantee the exact number of seeds!!

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). 

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 read my ebay guide for growing instructions by following the link:

Please, If you plan to buy my seeds to re-sell, I respectfully request that you do NOT use my photos, my names, 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 aplogize, but unfortunately I have had to put this disclaimer on my auctions as several so called "seed sellers" have started doing this. Evidently one of the "get rich on ebay books" promotes this type of activity.

Note to Ebay:

7/28/09

 

Per my ALL DAY conversations with various ebay people, I am required to put the following disclaimer:

 

These seeds are NOT to be used for any illegal purpose!

That was the ebay customer service persons exact wording..

so, please do not use these poppy seeds for buckshot to shoot someone. That would be illegal! I'm not quite sure why I am required to do this and none of the other seeds sellers are. But that is ebay's new rule.

 

My wording... The seeds are for beautiful flowers. They are not illegal. If you are seeking illegal items, please search elsewhere as this is NOT the place. Today I have also discussed and forwarded my listing to an FDA Field agent who tells me they are NOT regulated by the FDA!

Update. Following is a portion of text from ebay customer support regarding my auctions:
