Description: Poppy Hen & Chickens (Papaver Somniferum Hen & Chickens) - Called Poppy Hens And Chicks or Poppy Hens And Chickens, these Poppy seeds are grown more for the unique seed pods than the actual flower. After the Poppy flower fades and the petals fall, the seed pod is left. The main pod is surrounded by masses of smaller pods giving the impression of a mother hen and chicks. Poppy uses include drying and preserving to be used in dried arrangements. This drought tolerant poppy plant grows to about 24 - 36 inches high. The foliage is unique for Poppies, with broad lettuce-like leaves. Hens and Chicks Poppy pods are sought after, but the Poppy flowers are lovely as well. They are large, single-petaled and usually a deep red to a light purple. A great plant for xeriscaping where water conservation is desired.Season: AnnualUSDA Zones: 3 - 10Height: 24 - 32 inchesBloom Season: Mid summer to early fallBloom Color: Pale pink to purpleEnvironment: Full sun to partial shadeSoil Type: Well drained soil, pH 6.1 - 7.5Deer Resistant: YesI DO NOT GUARANTEE GERMINATION
