The listing, BOMBAST ROSE POPPY SEEDS, 25 has ended.

Bombast poppy is one of the prettiest flowers i grow. Poor soil or water conditions don't seem to matter to them and as other poppys require very little care. They don't transplant well for me, but the chioce is yours. Sow after the last frost for your area. Cover with 1/16" of soil, ( barley ). Mist daily until they sprooit and then only as needed. As with any poppy they are very hardy.This isn't strictly cold stratification but it's a wonderfully mysterious method and should delight children. It works for hardy annuals, biennials, and short-lived perennials--seeds that enjoy some cold to germinate and grow but don't truly require cold stratification - for instance, members of poppy family, heartsease, and sweet alyssum. During the winter after a heavy snow, go outside with your seeds and just broadcast them out on the snow. Believe it or not, they will come up in the spring. I tried this with California poppy, and it works wonderfully well. Just make sure you are broadcasting them in an area where they will be able to have sun and in a permnent area. This is a great way to beat the dulls of winter.
