Turkish Tulip Poppy
Papaver glaucum
Price: $3.95
SKU: 10002421Turkish Tulip Poppies produce bold red, tulip-shaped blooms marked with a signature black splotch at the center of each petal. Also known as the Turkish Red Poppy, this variety gets its common name from two things: its native range in Anatolia, the region that makes up modern day Turkey, and the way its inner petals stand upright, resembling a tulip rather than a typical poppy.
Plants reach up to 36 inches tall and tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. They do well in containers, and because they stay close to a manageable height, they also work as cut flowers. The blooms attract hummingbirds and other pollinators.

Seeds should be surface sown, directly into your garden, in the late winter to early spring. They require temperature fluctuations in order for the seeds to break dormancy. They are quite tiny so mixing with sand may aid in distribution.
If you are sowing indoors, surface sow on sterile seed starting mix, use a mister to water them in, and cover the pot or flat so that the seeds do not dry out. Place into your refrigerator for about twelve hours, remove and keep at room temperature for twelve hours. Repeat this cycle for about a week. This process is an attempt to mimic the natural conditions it requires. Germination typically occurs in about 30 days.
