Got seeds to grow and want to know

Answer 1

Wow...in researching your question I learned something quite amazing. I was fixing to tell you all about Hens and Chicks being propogated by offshoot, etc, thinking it was the Sempervivum tectorum variety, but my search brought up some really odd (to me) results.

Here's my find:
Of the Papaver somniferum :

Black Peony

Crimson Feathers

Danish Flag

Flemish Antique

Florist's Poppy

Frosted Salmon

Giganteum

Glabrum [White-Seeded]

Hens and Chicks

Nigrum [Black-seeded]

Scarlet Peony

Swansdown

Yellow Peony

So "yes", is the answer to your question. http://www.alchemy-works.com/poppy_info.html

Happy Gardening!
