Anatolian Papaver Glaucum Turkish Tulip Poppy Seeds from Heirloom Non-GMO, Organically Grown Poppies
This variety of Papaver Glaucum is known as The Turkish Red Poppy or Turkish Tulip Poppy. This is not to be confused with the Turkish blue poppy variety of Papaver somniferum. The Turkish Red poppy looks like a cross between the Greek Poppy and the Corn Poppy. It is a deep red color with black spots in the center. The Turkish Tulip Poppy’s name stems from the fact that this poppy derives from Anatolia, which is the region that comprises Turkey, and because its inner petals stand up in resemblance of tulip petals. This variety can tolerate a wide range of conditions. It reach up to three feet in height.
In bold red with black centers, Turkish Tulip Poppies are a fairly rare specimen that we think is worthy of being a part of any poppy collection.
Generally fall-sown in Zones 7 to 10 and spring-sown in colder zones. Overwintering annual native to Turkey. Traditional usage (TWM): analgesic. The flower is bright red with a dark basal spot. The plants are multi-headed, more so than other somniferums. The flowers tend to last 3 days before giving way to the medium sized, perfectly round pods. This is a longer floral expression than is typical of other somniferums. The flowers are dark red, not pink. This is the poppy that gained fame from “The Wizard of Oz,” beautiful enough to charm a winged monkey, potent enough to put a lion to sleep. For the wicked witch in all of us, by all means, scatter some seeds. Spread seed on fast-draining soil in fall or very early spring. For best results, plan the planting of poppies so that they germinate and grow during cool, moist weather and flower and make seed during hot, dry weather.
