American Legion Corn Poppy Seeds. American Legion corn poppy seeds promise one of the most cherished and vibrant blooms in the entire world. American Legion seeds produce generous 3-4-inch classic red poppy blooms and are ideal among wildflower mixes and in wide-open spaces. American Legion corn poppies can be broadcast directly in the garden just like wildflowers, yet are compact enough to keep indoors for planters, baskets, and window boxes. American Legion corn poppies are native to the rolling expanses of European meadows and were internationally recognized after WWI as the symbolic flower for fallen soldiers.  These clearance American Legion Corn Poppy seeds are 18% below germination standards.

Corn poppy seeds have a wildflower growth habit and can be broadcast similarly. Blend 1 part poppy seed with 5 parts sand to increase visibility during sowing, then lightly rake and tamp. For the earliest spring blooms, begin Corn poppy seeds indoors 6-8 weeks prior, then transplant them either indoors or out. Deadheading will encourage more blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican Legion Corn poppy seeds thrive in many full-sun gardens but will not perform well in high humidity and intense summer heat. Corn poppies will thrive in full sun in temperate and cool gardens and will favor partial shade in climates with intense summers. Seeds germinate best at 50-70°F. Be sure the soil and seedlings dry out between irrigations; Poppies do just as poorly in overly wet conditions as they do well in extremely dry weather. American Legion poppies bloom all summer long and may reseed, sending up volunteers for next season in temperate climates. If you wish to prevent this, cut the flower heads after they bloom and remove the entire plant before seeds form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmerican Legion Corn Poppy in the Flower Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncorporate these into wildflower and cut flower gardens, or use them as an easy mass planting.
