Description: 1000 Hen and Chicks Poppy Seeds FREE SHIPPING Hen & Chicks Poppy Seeds - (LIMITED SUPPLY) Papaver somniferum seeds, "Hens & Chickens" / "Hens and Chicks" variety Papaver somniferum, more commonly known as the Poppy, is one of the most famous species of ornamental flower worldwide -- and for good reason! Its resistance to cold makes it incredibly easy to grow in many different climates, and its ornate, colorful flowers make for an excellent addition to any garden. Hens & Chickens poppy produces pollinator-attracting, vibrant-pink flowers, as well as sizable seed pods that can be used for propagation. I have a small amount left of this very old poppy that produces the most unusual seed crown among all the poppies. The main pod is surrounded by a mass of smaller pods giving the impression of a mother hen and her chicks. Flowers on these are big and get up to 6 inches across with some reaching as much as 8 inches The large flowers are of unique petals that can come in shades of lavender to reddish pink to shades of purple and can sometimes come mixed in two shades within that range. Plant in well drained soil only, planting in full sun in temperate and partly shaded to very hot climates is best. Poppies prefer a cooler environment to germinate and warmer for growth and maturity. Water normally but do NOT overwater. Poppies are self sowing. Remove dead poppy heads as soon as possible if you do not want them in the same spot next year.
