Red Corn - Poppy Seeds
🚚 FREE SHIPPING for all orders over $79!
Red Corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) paints fields in Europe each spring and has long symbolized remembrance. In the garden it offers satiny scarlet petals with a dark cross at the center, each bloom fleeting but quickly replaced.
After flowering, slender pods dry beautifully for crafts or seed saving. Traditionally used in mild teas and syrups, the species today is grown for color and pollinators, not medicine. Direct sow in cool soil; poppies dislike transplanting.
Every order is packed with care by our small team in Pennsylvania and typically ships within 2–3 business days—often by the next business day. We ship throughout the United States using USPS and UPS.
Unopened items may be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an order arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, please contact us so we can make it right.
We stand behind every packet we sell. Our seeds are carefully selected, tested for germination, untreated, and guaranteed to be true to variety.
Your seeds are covered for one year from the date of purchase. If they fail to germinate under reasonable growing conditions, arrive damaged, or do not grow true to type, contact us and we’ll make it right with a replacement, store credit, or refund.
Plant seeds directly in the garden in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or 4–6 weeks before your average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is about 60°F. Starting transplants is not recommended, as poppies are sensitive to root disturbance. Sow seed shallowly and thin seedlings when 1–2” tall. Poppies germinate best in cool soil and tolerate light frost. They are excellent for mass plantings and may self-sow if allowed to go to seed.
