Poppy - Papaver Rhoeas – Pandora is a beautiful, unique new Poppy that is a hardy Annual, and combines vibrant shades of pink to red to burgundy colors with silvery stripes. The flower colors change as it ages. In early mythology, Pandora means “she who sends up gifts from the earth” and has outdone herself in this new namesake. It has a blooming season that lasts from Spring to Summer, grows best in full sun in rich, moist, well-drained soils, and will grow between 1.5 – 2 feet tall. These plants prefer an evenly moist soil but can tolerate drought. It will attract numerous pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These make great cut flowers and do well in borders in the garden. Cutting tip: cut when the buds develop color and hold the stem tips in boiling water for about 20 seconds. You can also sear the cut end of the stem or pick them in the evening as the buds lift upward and then plunge up to their buds in hot water to soak overnight. All of these methods will allow you to have a short-lived, beautiful cut flower. You don’t want to miss out on this plant find, it will surely add a nice flare to your Summer garden!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine,Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
