Peshawar Poppy

Peshawar Poppy is a Pakistani strain that forms otherworldly white crepe-like blossoms and large seed pods.

Size: BULK: 2,000 seeds (1 gram), OG

Peshawar Poppy (Papaver somniferum var. album) is a wonderful cool season ornamental native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. Its showy white blossoms - approximately seven to 10 per plant - give way to giant seed pods with substantial white seeds typically used for baking. A standout in the garden, the large white flowers are very attractive to bees and other beneficial flying insects. We’ve had great success direct seeding rows in early spring after frost danger has passed; to get plants producing earlier, start seeds in a greenhouse or protected area and later transplant.

      Excellent packaging, strong germination, and very

      "Very happy with these seeds. Packaging was clean and secure, and the seeds looked fresh and healthy right out of the packet. Germination was strong and consistent, and the seedlings developed quickly with healthy growth. I started them early in an indoor grow tent because I couldn’t wait for spring, using bright lights, good airflow, and stable conditions to mimic a spring environment—and they responded beautifully. I’m uploading a video of my overwinter setup to show how well these seeds perform. Overall, excellent quality and I would definitely buy from this company again."

      Incredible

      "I tried something new with growing a few these indoors and I have never seen anything like them. Given good LED lighting they did exceptionally well and flowered in less than 60 days not counting germination. In my personal opinion The Plant Good Seed Company currently has one of the most incredible seeds on the market. My only suggestion is if you grow indoors wear sunglasses because you'll be looking at these beautiful silky white flowers all day and you don't want to hurt your eyes from your LED light."
