I have a packet of Oriental mixed Poppies (biennial), Burpee poppy Meadow Pastels mix (says perennial), and Burpee watermelon heaven California poppy (annual).

I was doing some reading and came across the suggestion that the Oriental Poppy needed to be cold moist stratified. So, into the fridge they went. It then occurred to me they could have already been cold stratified. If so, will it hurt them to be in there anyway? I still need to get permission to plant them where I would like to, so I can't plant them yet. Otherwise I might just throw them out there and cross my fingers.

Also, would either of the other two poppy varities I have benefit from the same treatment? Last avg frost date is May 10, so they would be in there for little bit.

I did plant few in a little greenhouse kit but none have come up this far, I may have planted them too early. Totally a beginner at this Smiling
