Papaver somniferum is an easy annual to grow. It will reseed itself in the garden if some of the pods are left on the plant to dry. Once the heads turn brown, in late autumn shake the seeds into the garden to sow the seed for strong, vigorous plants that will flower that bit earlier next year. The seeds can also be collected and dried and sown in early spring. Buy Giant Papaver Somniferum Giganteum
