Neutral	Joan	On Aug 27, 2009, Joan from Belfield, ND (Zone 4a) wrote: Editor's Note Some resources list all parts of Papaver plants (except the seeds of some species) as poisonous if ingested. It is important to note that poppy seeds sold in grocery stores for culinary purposes are harmless, as the toxins have been destroyed by heat. We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardener, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

Positive	Weezingreens	On Jan 19, 2003, Weezingreens from Seward, AK (Zone 3b) wrote: 'Angels' Choir' is a delightful mix of double poppies similar to 'Cedric Morris', but the color range is more intense. A bed of these poppies will remind you of can can dancers doing their high kicks! I found the habit to be a bit messy when unsupported, so I fenced mine in. I would think they would be sufficiantly supported by other plants when broadcast in a bed.
