2O17 STOCK SEEDS ARE AVAILABLE FROM MY STORE:
Fantastic genuine Afghan poppy, that needs to be sown early
if you want large plants, fast to germinate and to flower, strong stocky plants
to 3-4 feet, large pure white flowers, one flower per plant, so pack them in
tight. Flowers are followed by large fat barrel shaped pods, with a high yield,
a top-quality poppy, white seeds. One of my favourites.
NOTE: Seeds need to be sown early to do well, as they will
bolt if sown too late in the summer.
(GALANIA)
Original obtained from the Izmir Farm website that seems to
have bitten the dust, he is supposed to have received directly from
Afghanistan, very nice genuine Afghan poppy, good plants will reach 3-4ft in
height, but mine only ever reach 3ft because of the short sowing to flower
window that I have. The large pink and white flowers, followed by large barrel
shaped pods, seeds need to be in the ground early as later sowing will bolt,
high yield, a top-quality poppy, white seeds. These poppies always produce less
seeds than any other poppy, hence the higher price, I always sell out before I
have a new batch to sell, so if you what these seeds get them early.
Seeds need to be sown early to do well, as they will bolt if
sown too late in the summer!
[Notes: Galania: Height 4 feet or less, flowers white with
pink or dark pink border, size of capsule 3” x 2”, and round, oblong and
flattened a little on top, colour of capsule dark green, low seed production.]
Got a hold of these little gems straight from Afghanistan.
To 4ft in height, two to three pink and white flowers per plant, very delicate,
almost like crinkled tissue paper. Pumpkin shaped, medium sized pods.
Orange/white seeds. Seeds need to be sown early to do well, as they will bolt if
sown too late in the summer!
Very pretty poppies.
I singled out one pure white frilly poppy from the batch of Izmir Pink n’ White grown last summer, this poppy was larger and more vigorous than all the rest, proving to me that this poppy is more suited to my growing conditions, this has led me to sowing a small bed this year, and it has performed well, large sturdy plants that have stood up to the very variable British weather. 3’ or more in height, white frilly flowers and large barrel shaped frosted pods, if you have struggled with poppies of the same type due to variable weather like I do, give this clone a try.
OUT OF STOCK - MORE AVAILABLE SUMMER 2018
Red, white and purple blooms, 4-5” across, tall plants and gigantic oblong ribbed pods, but you only tend to get one or two pods per plant.
This is a pharmaceutical strain picked from a field in
Oxfordshire.Fast to germinate, uniformly growing around 4ft tall. one of
the quickest to flower that I have grown, only a single flower per plant,
growth and flowers very slimier to that of the Taz poppies, neat serrated
leaves, and smooth large frosted egg-shaped pods. Seeds originally collected
from pods from a field in Oxfordshire by a friend, back in 2011, sadly most of
the seeds in the pods were a little undeveloped and failed to germinate, but I
did manage to grow three plants in 2012 and save some viable seed, so I was
able to grow a nice amount.
This Pharmaceutical strain poppy was picked from the poppy
fields of Berkshire.
Papaveraceae: Fast to germinate, and one of the quickest to
flower that I have grown, only a single flower per plant, growth and flowers
very slimier to that of the Tasmanian poppies, plants three to four feet in
height, neat serrated leaves, and smooth large frosted egg-shaped pods. Seeds
originally collected from pods from fields of Berkshire.
Bought these under the impression that they were the same
are the Burma Golden Triangle poppies that I have grown before, and can’t seem
to resurrect from the dead. This poppy turns out to be something different.
These are fast, strong growing plants. They are said to be able grow to 10ft,
but my plants only grow between 4-5ft, they have large pastel coloured flowers,
that are followed by large elongated ribbed pods. Great poppy!
This charming little poppy was sourced from the place as the
China Blue and China Red, growing around two feet, it seems to be a little
slower to get started than most, taking a few weeks longer to mature. The
flowers are very pretty and come in pink and red, and every shade in-between,
followed by small round pods and small brown seeds. A nice poppy but could
prove to be a little fickle in bad weather and with late sowings, but rare and
defiantly worth a go. Self-seeds readily and will come up every year if the
soil is disturbed.
I know nothing about the origin of this poppy other than its
named China red, very strong fast-growing plants to about 3-4 feet high, late
to flower, lots and lots of flowers and pods per plant, which are large red or
pink with dark basal spots, medium sized smooth round pods, which produce a
fantastic about of seeds.
NOTE: it's been a few years since I have grown these, and
there seems to be more purples mixed in with the red and pinks. in fact, there
are quite a few purples. I have selected some of the best flowers from this year’s
plants for next year. I have dropped the price of this year’s crop as a result.
Papaveraceae: This is a white seeded, white flowered poppy,
plants grow around 3-4ft tall, and produce only one large round to oblong waxy
seed-head per plant, this plant will perform well if sown early, later sowings
can produce poor plants.
[OPEN POLLINATED]
This is an old form of ornamental poppy grown for the
curious seed pods, each main pod is surrounded by masses of smaller pods giving
the impression of a mother hen and chicks. Reaching around 80cm in height. The
bees go mad for this one.
Still on of the most popular poppy that I sell!
THIS IS ONE OF THREE PHARMACEUTICAL STRAIN POPPIES
ORIGINALLY FROM HUNGARY.
Fast to germinate and moderately fast to flower, strong
plants to six feet or more in height, large flowers white with purple base
spots through to purple with darker purple base spots, large ribbed pumpkin
shaped pods, like the other two in flower alone, very nice poppy.

Rare Japanese pharmaceutical poppy.
I have had a few people asking me if I had any seeds from
this strain. But I haven’t been looking for new poppies to grow for a couple of
years so hadn’t heard of it. I have acquired a bit more land to grow stuff on,
so decided to look them up. The only site I have found is a US one, that is
selling a pure white strain for a criminal about of money. I have bought some
and will attempt to grow some this season. I may not have a lot this season,
but I will regrow them next year [2018]. I will be selling them for a
reasonable price as well.
NOTE: I HAVE NOT SOURCED THESE SEEDS FORM A TRUE AND TRUSTED
SOURCE. SO, I HAVE NO IDEA IF THESE SEEDS ARE 100% THE REAL DEAL.
This plant looks like a white Kykeon Afghan, you do get the
odd pure white flower from this form. the flower looks the same, the leaves
look the same, the pods look the same and the seeds are the extract same
colour!!!
In my option this guy has bought some seed from me in the
past, got a pure white flower and then decided to pass it off as Ikkanshu, and
then charged people $39.00 for 100 seeds. Mr Organical Botanicals Dot Com is a
crook, beware!!!!
That said if you want a pure white form of the pink and
white Kykeon Afghan this is the one for you!
[INDIAN WHITE]
Papaveraceae: I haven't grown this poppy since 2012, back
then they bolted because I got them in too late, so I ripped them out and
re-sowed the patch with another poppy. So, thought I would give them ago again
this year. They are still a bit small, but I should get a decent crop of seed
from them. Said to grow to 3-4ft. Pure white flowers, that are mostly frilly,
and only one flower per plant, these are followed by barrel shaped pods.
Like all Indian poppies that I have grown, they never grow
very large for me, the tallest this year has only reached 12”. Indian whites
need to be sown in late summer/autumn, and need a mild winter to slowly
establish its self before spring. Good plants are said to reach 3-4ft in
height, and are always the earliest P. somniferum to flower.
Papaveraceae: This poppy came from the same source as the
Indian white ‘Raja’. The seeds of this poppy have been sitting in a bag since
2010, simply marked, ‘Gift’, and are probably ‘Raja’, but because they had no
name I have claimed them as my own. Pure white flowers, that are mostly frilly,
and only one flower per plant, these are followed by barrel shaped pods.

Grows to about 2 feet, lots of small pods. This is one of
three verity of Izmir bush poppy that grow from a packet of seed bought from
Izmir farm. A rare poppy, pretty, and very productive, and very hardy. This
variety is the hardest poppy I have grown, it will survive more frost and
fungus attacks than any other, it’s tough as old boots. If you can sow them in
the autumn and over winter them, plants can be covered in flowers.
This is the result of a cross I made back in 2012, most
turned out to resemble a reddish purple Extaz, but this one really stood out to
me, resembling Kykeon Afghan, but for the beautiful violet flowers, truly
gorgeous, and exclusive to Kykeon Plants.
NOTE: this poppy doesn't seem to be a stable hybrid, this
year I’ve had reds, whites and pink & whites. if you want the one colour,
you will need to weed the others.
This is a garden mix of random coloured poppies, lots and
lots of different sizes, flowers and pod shapes.
Amazingly beautiful. I have bought some seed from this guy, his seed and packaging are top notch, no other seller is as generous, knowledgable or honest. His business is a resevoir, an oasis of quality genetics.
