{"product_id":"hens-chicks-poppy","title":"Hens \u0026 Chicks Poppy - 100 Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdd extraordinary architectural drama to your garden and dried floral arrangements with our rare Hens and Chicks Poppy seeds! A prized heirloom breadseed variety (Papaver somniferum), this showstopper is named for its fascinating seedpod structure. After the large, silky lavender-pink blooms drop their petals, the central primary seed pod (\"the hen\") becomes surrounded by a tight cluster of dozens of miniature secondary pods (\"the chicks\"). Reaching up to 3 feet tall on strong, upright stems, this dual-purpose treasure is spectacular in garden borders, prized by florists for fresh or dried crafting, and yields delicious, nutty seeds for baking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e⭐ What you'll love\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHighly unique and rare seedpod structure featuring a main central pod ringed by miniature pods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSilky, large single to semi-double lavender-rose blooms that flutter in the breeze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSuperior floral design favorite that provides unmatched architectural value dried or fresh.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDual-purpose breadseed heirloom yielding nutrient-dense, edible culinary poppy seeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌿 Seed details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hens and Chicks Breadseed Poppy (Papaver somniferum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 25 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heirloom, Open Pollinated, Non-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifecycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool-Season Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80-90 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌱 Growing instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow outdoors in late fall or very early spring.
