is it the fluffy bits or the whole hard bit that the petals grow from? i want to try and plant the seeds from my existing poppies.
Which bit of the poppy flower is the seed?
Poppies produce a rather large seed pod after flowering. Leave them to dry on the plant. You can hear the seed rattle inside once they are ready.
See source for more info
Reply:Wait until the flower petals fall off. The hard green bit at the top of the stem where the petals were will swell up into a large green ball with a bit of a frilly edge at the top. Wait until it is dry, the break it open gently and shake the black seed out into a container until you are ready to replant them
Reply:The "hard bit" contains the seeds.
