Red Corn Poppy Seeds (Papaver rhoeas), also known as Flanders Poppy, produce one of the most iconic and recognizable wildflowers in the world. This classic annual features striking scarlet-red, tissue-paper–like petals surrounding deep black centers, creating dramatic contrast and timeless beauty in the garden.
Native to Europe, Red Corn Poppies grow 12–30 inches tall and bloom freely in cool-season conditions. In regions with mild winters, seeds can be sown in fall or early spring, while colder climates benefit from early spring planting. Plants establish easily and perform best when allowed to grow undisturbed.
Beyond their ornamental value, Flanders Poppies hold deep cultural significance as a symbol of remembrance and hope, closely associated with World War I memorials. In the garden, they are well suited for wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, borders, and mass plantings where their vivid color can be fully appreciated.

How to Use / How to Grow:
Direct sow Red Corn Poppy seeds outdoors in fall or early spring, as poppies prefer cool temperatures for germination and growth. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them in without covering, since light aids germination. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Avoid transplanting, as poppies establish best when sown where they will grow. Allow plants to self-seed for recurring displays.

Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens.
