Product Details
30 Plugs (Original plug tray size origination: 288)
Can be difficult to start from seed, so plugs are a good alternative. Icelandic Poppies have the longest vase life of cut flower poppies if treated correctly. They are prolific and feature many large, cup-shaped flowers atop bushy, strong-stemmed plants. Plant in fall to overwinter for spring. Use row cover as needed. Good winter item in Florida, California and comparable climates. They do not like heat.

Harvest: for longest vase life, harvest in the "cracking bud stage" when the buds are just cracking open and a tiny bit of color can be seen.
Post Harvest: One method is soon after harvest, sear the ends for 7-10 seconds with an open flame or boiling water to seal sap, and place in water with flower food. Another method is to pick and store dry for up to a week in a closed dry cardboard box in the cooler. No need to sear as the stems will seal themselves. When ready to use, stand the stems upright in clean water in the cooler, and the buds will open the next day.
Vase Life: up to 1 week
