Add Your Opinion About This Plant
These poppies show up in old gardens when the earth is disturb. The seeds can stay dormant for years. The wind and birds also spread the seeds. The plant and pod are highly toxic if eaten. The seeds are used in breads and pastries and are sold in grocery stores. The dried pods are used in dried floral arrangements. It is legal to have/buy/sell the seeds in the US and Canada. Laws concerning growing them is inconsisitent, but in my state seems to be based on the intent in which the poppies are grown.
