Poppy Perennial Seeds I collected some poppy seeds from my Mother's garden last year. When is the best time to sow them,?
I collected these seeds last year and have kept them in a dry condition.However, I'm not sure which variety they are. Unfortunately my Mother and Step Father have now passed away so obviously I can not ask them. The plants themselves were about 900mm-1.0m tall and the heads quite large, about 50mm across. I would really like to germinate these seeds as the plants would serve as a reminder of my late parents. I would also like to know if they are annual or perennial, and where to sow them Ie directly into the open ground or in a seed tray and grow on from there.
When to plant the really depends on when you want them to bloom and where you live. Poppies do NOT transplant well. You will definatly want to plant directly into the ground. They don't want overly rich soil, but it's got to be healthy, moist but not wet, and get lots of sun!!
All poppy's are annuals. They sometimes bridge into the "hardy annual" category depending on where you live. (which some consider to be "tender perennial", but...that's getting a little to persnickety for my taste!) They are heavy re seeders, and when left to themselves can appear to be perennials, but.....they aren't really.
Anywho....In VA, we broadcast seed them into a prepped area in the fall and lightly cover with straw (not hay! Straw). This keeps the birds and mice from eating them all, and gives them a chance to get established, root, be warm and cozy through our sometimes we have one, and sometimes we don't winter....and that way they bloom in the middle of spring through early summer. You can do the same in the early spring so that you have flowers mid summer to early fall, if your summers aren't too humid or hot. You can even do it late summer to have a fall showing; but you'll have little to no regrowth in the spring because the pods won't have had time to completly dry before the wet fall nights.....unless you are into seed collecting!
Whichever way you choose, make sure you harvest some of the pods for drying inside so that you can use them other areas. One never has enough poppy patches! If harvesting the pods in summer, they will already be dry. (late summer that is!!) Just snip them into a paper bag. (make sure you sprinkle about half of the pods into the ground where you want them next year...they will start setting up of the fall) When completly dry, shake the seeds out of the pods into a smaller paper bag. Put that paper bag in a sealable plastic bag and store. Early winter; put that bag in the fridge. This way you can sprinkle them in the same area come late spring and you'll have an extended bloom time!
And repeat.....in more and more areas! Everyone should have wonderful memories to tie into such a wonderful flower!
I am trying to grow sweet basil, perennial poppies and annual thumbelina zinnias in deep pots indoors. I am not sure how to get the germination process going, and the seed packets mention nothing about it. I have an understanding of what lighting conditions are needed for each seed. From my understanding, all 3 need either sun/partial shade or full sun. Being that it is the last week of May, and last frost has past, can I just put the seedlings in pots full of soil and put them in direct sunlight? I am reading in different online sources that I could put them in the pots with well saturated soil and place plastic bags over them? If the seeds germinate between 5-10 days, do I not water the soil until I see a sprout, or what? And do they need to be in indirect sunlight, or placed in a dark spot in my home to germinate? I have already put them in pots, so hopefully the damage isnt done already. I am clueless. Help!
Cover seed with 1/8 - 3/8" soil, keep the seed bed moist and germination will occur in approximately the number of days mentioned on the packet. If not mentioned: Poppies take about a week; Basils take about 7 - 10 days; Thumbelinia Zinnias take about 6 - 10 days. This assumes temperatures iin the 70's (indoor temperatures). Germination does not require sunlight; growth after germination does,

Do perennial seeds sell out very quickly at the store usually?
I am seeing perennial seeds now at the store and want to know if I should buy them now or will they usually always have plenty?
They will sell out a lot of the more unusual ones. If your not overly picky you can wait until they start getting short on stock and lower the prices and you can get 2 for 1. But if you want something specific, buy them now.
Perennial Seeds What does perennial used as annual mean?
I bought a pack of seeds and it says on the side perennial and at the bottom it says perennial used as annual. What's that mean?
Many perennials will flower in their first year. They may be used as bedding plants but are discarded at the end of the season. There are two main reasons for this:
1. The plant may not be frost hardy. It will therefore die in the winter and need replacing.
2. The plant becomes coarse and too large in the subsequent years.
The first of these is the main reason for discarding the plants. By all means use them for compost at the end of the season.

i planted flower seeds last year and they seeded at the end of the summer,are they perennials or annuals?and?
ive seen flowers that i thought about buying but i didnt because they didnt even say wheather they were annuals or perennials.how can you tell?i want the ones that DO come back every year,can anyone help?
Perinneals come back every year. Annuals generally have ot be replaced every year, but it depends on what zone you live in.. In warmer places like the south, some plants that are technically annuals, act like perinneals and come back. Bulbs and rhizomes (Iris, Lily, tulips, daffodils, etc) will come back and multiply each year so you have more and more. If you are unsure or a package doesn't specify, ask someone working in that department.
Vine Perennial Seeds Can someone please help me? I have a few questions about Cathedral Bells (Cup-and-saucer vine)?
First of all, I live in zone 5, Ontario Canada. I would like to grow Catherdral Bells up a few trellis and fences, but I have a few questions:
1: Are they a popular plant?
2: Are they a perennial in my area?
3: How fast to they grow? As fast as morning glories?
4: When do I plant, what are some tips on it?
5: Do you buy it as seeds, or as roots?
5: Do most nurserys have this vine? I haven't even heard of it until today!
Thanks in advance!
Here are my answers to you... firstly, I am also in USDA hardiness zone 5. Thanks for the reference... it makes answers so much easier.
1. Not very popular. They are not a heavy bloomer in my experience.
2. Not a perennial in zone 5.
3. Slower than morning glory, but still pretty quick.
4. I'd start them from seed, because it's going to be difficult to find as a plant. Start them indoors 2-3 weeks earlier than last frost. They are slow to germinate and I had erratic germination.
5. As seed.
6. I grew it for a couple years at the retail nursery I worked for (in Brighton MI), that is the only place I was aware of it available as a plant. Try a local farm market.
Tropical vine growing to 10 ft. or more. Can be grown in a container with trellis. Attractive foliage and large pink flowers makes this a popular plant

Is morning Glory a perennial or an annual plant?
Will the morning glory plant die this fall or come back only from seeds next year. I'm spraying roundup on the vine under my peach trees. Wonder if I'm wasting my time because the plant is about to go dormant or die. ?
It is good you are spraying it, However roundup is best effective when spraying when the plant is producing allot of new growth.ie late spring through mid summer, (but for that pesky weed, any time you can spray it) lol. you will find it to be a hearty plant ,requiring a couple of years of constant spraying, and a couple of times each season. Good luck. PS. if you pull it, the roots break off and it will propagateate from the pieces left behind also.
