P. somniferum is one of mother nature's most stunning, versatile and beautiful plants. If you plant traditional garden pink carnation-like peony P. somniferum alongside violet-blotched Tasmanian whites they will hybridise and produce myriad awesome new flower types and colours. I love the excitement and enjoyment of the multiple bees who visit the blooms in the early morning. I love when a good strain is correctly planted it will stand beyond chest height at bloom time, without support. I love the way farmers in Tasmania selected plants for maximum alkaloid content, then altered them to produce thebaine instead of other alkaloids for new medicines called Bentley compounds. I love the taste of a traditional, sweet poppy seed strudel from my local cake shop... Thank you for showing us your plants and passing on your know-how :-)
@Michael.Chapman Where can I buy seeds of Tasmanian what produce alkaloids called Bentley compounds?
There was a lady up on the ridge where we used to gather apples for pies and such,, and she had the most beautiful gardens, and in one place that was near the house, she had all sorts and colors of poppies. She loved the colors she would get from letting the bees pollinate them, and she always gathered the seeds for next year. It was plain to see tho, she never turned them into narcotics. She would gather and burn all of it at the end of the growing season. Sometime tho, she had poppies up till Thanksgiving !! All the beautiful flowers she grew, even down to winter Mums. So pretty with the snow flying and them waving and nodding to beat the band. Loved visiting her, and getting the best apples grown in this area.
Beautiful video! I think I will try growing them this year. Thanks.
Very accurate, good information, pinning the leaves together to keep the strain pure, is pure genius, lol subbed and will definitely check out you store, such beautiful flowers, thank you!
brilliant finally some real info on one amazing plant.
thanks!
some of the most beautiful flowers ive ever seen
Looks like an interesting flower to place on my fathers grave when I visit there.
great video and beautiful flowers. nice work my friend!
About to place my order. The color on these flowers are just.....amazing.
beautiful beautiful actually beautiful and looks like a good way to keep the bees close to home
You know what's even more beautiful than all these poppies? This great stuff that's inside them. Then you can ingest it in a number of ways, and guess what!? The benefits after you ingest it, is 10 times more beautiful. I would even call it intoxicatingly beautiful! It is the Breakfast Of Champions man!!! ;)
THESK1TZ amen
At first, after 3 Month you'll wish you were Dead!
@@erikhafer1415 same with eating food, "for some".. obesity. People in bodies that can't move, whom overdone it. Some of them wish they could die. Sooo.. We shouldn't blame poppie, opium ,etc., as much as blaming man for his gluttony.
@@tjworker5482 your correct .
@@erikhafer1415 I have been using it for cancer pain for 3 years now and I don't wish I was dead.
The sound in the backround of this video is relaxing and the poppies look great.
would love to see a video on the different heads
great poppies!!! i live in chicago will they grow that far north? great video
Beautiful and nicely made video!! I just ordered some of your super colossus and Afghani ismir. I am excited to grow!!
that red poppy and that gorgeous purple one at the end of the video are magnificent. i love them
Beautiful flowers! I'm designing my garden and love these in borders :)
Papava somniferum has been growing wild in my community for year. There thousands of flowers growing. Have been for at leat 15 years. Its quite dry and looks like somewhere you wouldn't expect to see such beautiful flowers. Ive picked the bulb before flower and made opium by boiling down the head. Its a shiny black bitumen type substance. If only i knew how to turn it something like morphine. I use it for tea. Gives a nice buzz. Relaxed and slightly euphoric
I lived in a communist country...30 years back in my country the government grew hills and hills of poppy seeds, I always adored the beautiful flowers when fully bloomed. The people never abused them in any way or form. I remember my grandma would make different sweet breads And added a few seeds on the top of the bread to give it a nice taste and look. our People did not make drugs of it, but I am sure the government regiment knew why they grew them for and sold them across the borders. It’s interesting how innocent people used to be back then. Now everything has changed back home you don’t see these beautiful flowers grown on the hills no more. Times have changed...
Lidz Star please.
They are beautiful. How do I get the white and purple one’s I love 💕 the taste of the opium poppies. Very good video. I wish I had your knowledge
I managed to successfully transplant a bunch of them when they were as much as a month or more old. You have to be careful to get the whole root-ball, so I used a 6" trowel and dug up a huge amount of dirt around them. But on the other hand, it was easier than transplanting those tiny, fragile bebbies...
And, btw, 6" isn't nearly enough space. If you have a choice, try to leave 1'-2' between them. They may look tiny at first, but trust me, they will grow HUGE in no time, conditions (especially weather) permitting.
Some of mine - especially the White Gigantium - grew to be almost 8' tall, with flowers almost as big as my face, and pods bigger than ping-pong balls. The Lauren's Grape and the pink peony-style ones also grew prolifically, with as many as 100 blooms per plant. Danish Flags also did well, and the bees cross-pollinated some and accidentally bred hybrids!
I planted hollyhocks last year & the thing didn't stop growing..it was like 8ft tall lol! I am going to attempt to grow some poppies..something new. I got some seeds..the memorial red and some kind of peach pink color. I was thinking of growing it in a row however I am concerned about the wind...
They make beautiful flowers, nice to have in any garden
Whats the optimal depth the soil should be if grown in a raised bed? TY
This was great and informative thanks peace from uk
Do you have Hens and chicks? I would like to get some seeds
how much do you water poppy seeds until they sprout?
rainage, and miracle gro as soil. I use fertalizer from time to time. I have them in a fairly large growing pot. I don't know what might be the issue they are Papaver somniferum
Which variety of Papaver Somniferum has the dark purplish color and have the giant pods? I’d like to know so I can order them from you. The ones I have now, came from Holland and are fairly small and white. I’d like some color. Thank you for the tips.💕
do poppy heads continue to grow after the pedals fall off? the pedals are white with blue dots in the center. I think they are supposed to be ''Afghan blue''. this my first time growing. I thought the heads would be bigger. thanx.
you can find seeds in grocery stores, they're used for bagels, muffins, etc. I wouldn't reccomend this though. they may not have the best genetics, or might be the wrong species all together. Best site I've found for high quality seeds is bouncingbearbotanicals you can find a pound of seeds for the same price as a gram elsewhere, but they're very high quality and worth the money. Besides, the seeds are so small that a gram is more than enough! Also, they take approximately 3 months to grow.
You can't use store bought seeds as they have already been washed, heat treated & processed. They are infertile
Can I email you a picture of my plant? So you can give me advice on how to nurture it properly? I think it is too small.
Darling chorus, the bees too
به به به ، آفرین خانم دکتر، دستت درد نکنه ، چه کوکنار هایی، پرورش دادید، تورو خدا از بذر این کوکنارها برای ما در ایران بفرستید، پولش هرچقدر باشه پرداخت میکنم بهتون، باتشکر
They are such pretty plants, im going to attempt growing them...hope noone thinks im doing it for any other reason than to see the wonderful blooms..🙄
Oh no, nobody would ever think that : )? I'm growing some "only" to sell the pods as art for displays and all. you believe me right?
The less you know,the better. So admitting you know they're used for more just now, has already incriminated you
Your garden is beautiful.
What about climate and time of year. I live in Indianapolis weather is always changing
I'm west of Indy
I am looking for the poppy seeds that you eat?do you sell them so I can grow my own?im trying to grow edible food plants etc as much as i can and Poppy's are so pretty too!so I can plant them out the front and it will look awesome.
ElekTrickCity oh ok good to know, thanks for replying :)
I'm using one third sand one third compost and one third black crumbly dirt that used to be rabbit manure about 12 years ago...got that from an area where I moved some rabbit cages...this is the first year I have had such success but I've amended my soil to a huge degree plus dug darn near a trench to give the roots plenty of room...
Posso te mandar uma foto das minhas plantas? para me dares uma sugestão daqui de Portugal por favor?
I set some Giant poppy's out on Feb 14. It's now may 16 . How long until they flower. My plants are about 8 to 12 inches high. I live in North East TN
Sidney usually the second year will have poppy's then every year after the same plant will regrow more in the spring
If you're planting the seeds in a pot, how much water should they get? Should you water with a watering can or with a spray bottle?
I have poppies now. All are growing.
Man, I have so many poppies sprouting right now and no where to put them.
On the streets lol duh
I am inspired for sure.... on my way to your Poppy EMporium.
so for hens and chicks and florida being the locale , what it the best time to sow seed? Thank you tons!
@GrowPoppies How would you suggest watering seeds without washing them under the soil where sunlight won't be able to reach them? I've been sticking to a water bottle set on mist, but that takes forever to get (and keep) the soil moist. I'm wondering if there's an easier way. I've thought about having water saturate up through the hole in the bottom of the planter but I'd be worried about rot. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks!
IN those raised beds if oxygen is an issue, try a diluted solution of peroxide, I mean like one percent
@GrowPoppies That depends what your growing in. It's well known that if grown in hydro, a single plant will continue producing for several months. The plant will produce roughly 2 smaller pods for every large pod you cut off in about a weeks time. Just a few healthy plants can easily yield over 100 potent pods. It's been proven.
Wow. Grown in Hydro? i can only imagine that if growing them under lights with complete control of the photoperiod that this may be possible.
How deep should the bed be (a foot or 2)?? For personal use (2 or 3 folks) how much square feet or space is needed? In extra dry areas (desert areas) should a greenhouse roof be used with a outer water source?
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I know you would get this all the time and id understand if your unwilling to comment but i am interested in poppies and the morphine that they can produce. Not for personal use but from a survival/ SHTF point of view. For me it could save my family or friends in a bad situation.
Thanks again
Watch poppy momma she teaches you everything you need to know.
...all in a hour ....I went from enjoying the poppy videos....and thinking about spreading some seeds on vacant lots....and letting them do their thing...to beautify the area at least for a few weeks...then today I watched a video on poppies in Afghanistan....and then I felt that I didn't want to spread the seeds around for fear that someone will use them for drugs to sell...now I'm thinking that in this economy there will always be someone doing something that they shouldn't do.....
Absolutely beautiful.. need to contact. I had to leave my girls when I moved.. beautiful garden my friend ❤ ♥ 😍
What’s the best weather to plant...I live here in the south near the coast...I tried growing them and they got really big, until the weather hit 80’s and 90’s and they just all died...I didn’t have them in full sun...as a matter of fact it was partial shade...anyway they all died. I just wanted to add color to my garden...by the way...u grow beautiful flowers.
That's exactly what happened to me, I live in Southeast Georgia area about 50 miles inland this was the 4th year I planted and I've tried planting in aug, oct, nov, this year I planted in February but when I planted in the early winter months the cold kills them, then when I plant in the late month's the heat or possibly the humidity kilss them, the best I grew was planted in mid Jan but they still didn't have a pod any bigger then a marshmallow. I think I'm going to give a indoor grow a try. But the biggest problem I've had is getting the right strain of poppy, when you buy online they never send what's in the picture. 1 year I planted in a wheelbarrow so I could move them into the ac in the heat of the day and I finally got the right strain of seeds from China (Super Colossus) and they were doing fine when I put them in the sun and a young girl turning around in her car ran over the wheelbarrow and got it hung under her car , It killed every last one. So I'm hoping some of the seed I saved might come up. I'll try again, and post my results, good luck to you
Website is down. Will it get fixed soon? I would like to order some seeds.
@GrowPoppies
I planted somnifermus a few years back, now they grow everywhere and they always have about 6 pods and I dodnt do anything to em!
This person sounds just like Phyllis from the office
I really want to grow some of these beautiful flowers. Not too many. I don't want to attract any unnecessary attention.
are you still going I love growing poppies got about 50 x different types 😎
8:26 pause. Look ..give it a minute. ..you see the imp like face?/. Theres a couple different faces that can be seen. Look to our right at the crease in the skin of her palm. Now look to the left. Past the first line and halfway to the second and move up till you see an obvious eye. Start from there.
😮
Which colour has the most opium? The Violet or the pink ones
Beautiful Flowers!
Poppies are by far my favourite flower and I got one today!!I used to have one when I was smaller and I took great care of it one day I decided to plant it in the ground I did'nt realise my mistake I did'nt even dig a hole (note thar I was young at the time probs 6) and it died in a couple of days the one I got today i'm hoping will grow lovely and big like my old one p.s my old one was red!!
happy time
Can you sow in late fall even in zone 6b? Or is it too cold there?
Will thay grow in minn,
How long do they take once u plant them until they bloom.
Hey I want opium poppyseed just for the seeds but will I gett in shit as long as I don't take the sap out though Holmes?
I haven't found any legal arguments against harvesting poppy seeds. It's the opium that the authoritarians want to control. Plants are our inalienable right to use as we wish! Commit a crime, then pay the consequences. There's nothing to prove that the opium itself induces criminal behavior.
@@slukky damn fucking straight!!!!!
What species has the longest lasting blooms? California? Corn?
Why dont you fill your raised beds in with soil?
...I have the beautiful orange bloom poppies....they grow about 2 and half feet tall....they look so alien like...the pods...just before they bloom in May.... the light green pods with fine peach-fuze all facing the same direction....as if they are all of the same mind....they are aggressive...and spread like wild fire....I am harvesting the pods for seeds...can I put them in the oven to dry out??or should I wait for a hot day and put the pods in th sun to dry naturally???...
Living here in the coastal town of Surfside SC I guess it’s just too hot!
Are poppy leaves and stems edible?
@Waylen Edge Thank you mate. finality someone willing to answer my question.
They go great when making tea. Just let them dry , then blend them up with the heads.
Beautiful poppies ❤
website is down?
also in full sun or shade
they must grow the Afghani Izmir over in Afghanistan or a different strain or not.
I want to get Asian or Afghan seed to grow my own personal poppies to cultivate my own pain reliever have major back problems and I can't afford my pain meds and the docs are m as king hard and I can't afford the visits please help me get ahold of good seeds so can self medicate I'm not a junkie just in real pain two bad disc's and been through so many back surgeries and steroids in my back painful injections and the vA won't help will you please
2 major obstacles to overcome, then after that you'll be able to be pain free for free, other then the work and time it takes to care for your garden . So first get the right seed so your plant's will have the right alkaloids, you want Afghan white or burma blue. And the strain is
(Super Colossus) then be sure to plant at the right time for your area, other then that your in good shape I hope you feel better , If I can help just contact me and I'll do whatever I can, I've also had 4 back surgeries and I know what the constant pain is like
I've never dealt with poppies before.. I had a friend give me some pods and I'm excited to try them out! I'm in Ontario, Canada and it's starting to get cool.. That good ol winter wasteland is coming.. I can still plant the seeds right now??
Jasmine Peach plant 2 months before you get spring in your area that should do it for stratification. That what I did
you think getting off opium is normal now?
Would peat moss be good for growing poppies?
Sphagnum* aftee they're about8-10 inches tall, you can kinda wrap sphagnum around where they come out of the ground to help them stand up nicer & to provide extra nutrients once they start to decompose. 🥰
Loving the volume switch up. Who needs ears any way?
ito add to her comment. it is not illegal to grow these. only if you collect the syrup
Love how there is even pictures of tears in the intro lol
popped out from the ground or how high do they have to be for me to remove them lid?
& it says when large enough transport to 3inch pots(and i wanna grow upto 100 poppy plants)do i have to put them in pots byforce? I was gonna plant them straight into the ground when the roots pop from the coir pellets. Last question it also says to stand outside for a few days. Do i stand them or harden them off? In hot sun or normal weather? Sorry for bugging you.Thanks :)
is poppy leaves ok for eating ?
the reason I am going to be growing poppies this summer is because deer supposedly don't like eating them. They have eaten everything in the back yard right down to the soil. I hope they don't do the same to the poppies, but I got a feeling they will be eaten as well. I am calling this my summer experiment.
The smell is beautiful and The Taste is like incense. Beautiful Thank you !

ROWS ftw, for ANY plants you want! ROWS help differentiate weeds from desired plants, as seedlings.
Would Chicken poop poop work as well or does it have to be what you said in the vid. ?
ok from seed to pod how many days and in northwest floriduh when do i germinate we have a cold snap/frost in jan to the 2nd week of march then super weather? thanks tons, my back will thank you too, not just for the raised beds concept either...
It's hard to grow them in Florida, I've grew them for years and for our state the best time to plant around the last week of nov , only because it takes 90 day's or more for them to mature and get a decent size to them, but you've got to protect them from freezing. I use plastic and metal conduit pipe with big clamps close them in like a small green house and you can put a space heater inside or if you don't have access to electric you can use several cans of sterno in each corner, all it has to do is keep the temp at ot above 28 they can take it below 32 for a short time. But be sure to uncover them right away as the sun Come's up, they don't like humidity at all or direct sunlight if it's over 70/73 or so, if it's 68 or so they like direct sunlight it help's them, and they don't like water, make sure your soil drains good. I haven't had much luck with them in pots either, and if you fertilize use very little and maybe only a once a month use something like miracle grow mixed in water and just mist the soil until damp, or a vegetable type fertilize but be very sparingly and put it a couple inches away from the stem, hopefully you'll have your plant's mature and ready for harvesting by the end of April if not the heat and humidity will definitely kill them, Hope this helped you, keep me posted on how things went. Like I said I'm going to give a indoor grow a try, sure can't do any worse than when it's 85 degrees outside with 90 percent humidity right. Good luck
The hard part now is not to be captivated by the "sweet neurological scent" evoked by the nectar morpheus exudes!
Please send link to your website.
Would've been great if you showed that pinching technique in your video.
Why is the latex pink and red?
What kind of breed do you have? Tasmanian?
Hi got lots of types of poppy seeds this year. & sowed them straight into my (clay like soil garden)very late sowing.Seedlings grew like maybe 2inches high or stopped growing(growing very very slow) then baby pill bugs ate them all. So this year i failed my first time growing poppies :( . Now in Jan gonna try again & bought Plug Plant Trainers & Window Sill Greenhouses with Coir Starter Pellets. My problems are on the seed packs it says Romove cover when seedlings appear. They have to be just
AngelHeart how about winter sow seeds in milk jugs on a deck or on the sunny side of your house or garden fill them half way with wet soil and sprinkle with poppies seeds & tape shut the jug and leave outside
has your poppies ever sprouted 3-4 poppy pods per plant and you think i should thin them out?????
Magnificent flowers!
I read that Poppy Seeds must go through a period of frost or winter before they germinate. I live in the Philippines and it's always warm here. Any advice?
+bob jones you can stick them in the fridge or freezer for two to four weeks to stimulate winter. :) good luck!
+bob jones Not really necessary. They can be pretty hardy.
bob jones keep the seeds in the refrigerator for 8 weeks.
That is called "Stratification" and you can throw em in the freezer for a couple weeks to do that. not necessary with most poppies
I have a question: what could it be when your leaves start getting prematurely yellow (between 1 and 2 months)???
Remember everyone! Let the pod dry out all the way. If you shake it and hear seeds you're good to go.
Jar full of green pods in 100+ proof alchohol left for 6-8 weeks makes emergency medicine for pain. Your welcome.
