Poppy, Hungarian Blue Breadseed (Organic)

Papaver somniferum.

Blue breadseed type. The light blue seeds of this variety have a delicious nutty flavor. With stunning dark purple petals, Hungarian Blue Breadseed poppy also makes a beautiful ornamental, especially when a patch or field is flowering all together. This Hungarian heritage variety is super easy to grow and a highly nutritious staple food. We are not the only ones who find the flowers captivating – bees, especially bumble bees, go nuts over them. The pods do not shatter like most poppies, making it very easy to hand harvest seeds. Dried pods are also very nice in floral arrangements.
