COMING IN MARCH · LIMITED SEASON
Icelandic poppies are one of the very first flowers of spring on our farm. Their petals look like crinkled silk, in a mix of pink, orange, yellow, white, and red.
We cut them as tight buds, just as they begin to crack open, so you can watch them unfurl at home. They bloom for only a few weeks, usually starting in early March.
Poppy quantities are limited. People on this list hear first when pre-orders open, before we announce them anywhere else.
Want to know how we grow and cut them? Read Farm-Grown Poppies in the Farm Journal.
On our farm in Brenham, Texas, Icelandic poppies bloom for a few weeks in early spring, usually starting in early March. Exact timing depends on the weather.
Not yet. Leave your email on this page and we'll let you know as soon as pre-orders open, before we announce them anywhere else.
About 5 to 7 days, depending on care and room temperature. Trim the stems with clean scissors and change the water regularly.
Poppies are cut as buds and open once they are in water in a warm room. If a bud is slow, gently peel away its thin outer layer with your fingers. The petals often open within hours.
While you wait for spring, heirloom mums are blooming on the farm through the end of November.
