We have had so many requests to make this available we are opening up our trials so they can be grown out in gardens across NZ, on the understanding that they are a work in progress and some variation is to be expected. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our first iteration of that work - and we would love for you to trial along with us. We will work to refine each of these over the coming seasons, and encourage feedback if you do grow these with us. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of love \u0026amp; work has gone into this work, and we are so excited to share it with you. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Gray Floral TRIAL Icelandic Poppy Plants \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStandard NZ shipping included.

Once they've opened the bees will quite literally beeline and the vase life is greatly reduced. I find they last the longest if you either sear the ends with open flame for 7-10 seconds, or dip the ends in near boiling water for 10 seconds and the bubbling from the stem stops. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVase life:\u003c\/span\u003e 5-7 days if heat treated on harvest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens.
