Papaver nudicaule 'Partyfun Mix'

Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 1996

Good Qualities:

Excellent color and pattern as a fresh cut, as well as a unique dried product, though the heads are far too small to be of much use as a dried.

Problems:

Seeding must be carried out under ideal weather conditioned so as to prevent over-seeding due to the seed ;sticking; during seeding.; Colors not good - too many oranges -- not enough pink for our market;

Comments:

The first planting failed due to weather but second sowing has done well.; Require larger samples of seed to provide more accurate field performance data.
