    Customer photo review of Poppy Seeds - Turkish Tulip

    Seeded outdoors in gallon water containers in early April using year-old seeds. Transplanted to container a few weeks later. A favorite in the garden this season!

    Buy them now and sow in the cold. They will bloom in late spring for you :)

    Poppy Seeds - Turkish Tulip

    I broadcast these everywhere I could in my garden. The sun can be iffy and wasn't sure where these could germinate. They bloomed in low light, but especially spectacular in bright sunlight. They came up in my purple salvia around the mailbox and Wow! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the little dead sticks it leaves behind. Have to be diligent about pulling them out for a clean look to the garden.
