Shirley Poppy Seeds - Mixed Red & Pink
Store owner replied: Hello CPA MOM. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your poppy seeds did not germinate as expected. Poppies generally perform best when direct sown outdoors in late fall or very early spring, as they prefer cool conditions and dislike having their roots disturbed. The tiny seeds should be sown on the soil surface or covered only very lightly, as they need light to germinate. Keeping the soil consistently moist during germination and ensuring good seed-to-soil contact can also improve success. We previously reached out but haven't heard back yet. We'd still be happy to help investigate what may have happened. Please reply to our earlier email to find a resolution that works for you. At Eden Brothers, we stand behind our products and are committed to helping our gardeners succeed. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to assist you!
The seeds are so small that it was impossible to actually plant

These Poppies are beautiful, with eye-catching colors. I planted the seeds in a two-week interval to extend the bloom time. I received compliments all summer long.
