Papaver somniferum ‘Black Swan’ | Breadseed Poppy | Feathered Poppy

‘Black Swan’ is one of the most dramatic and glamorous poppy varieties available — a true showstopper for cottage gardens, natural borders, and summer displays. This laciniatum-type breadseed poppy produces deeply fringed, feather-like petals in rich shades of dark burgundy to near-black, creating an unforgettable texture and movement in the garden.

An easy-to-grow hardy annual, Papaver somniferum thrives with direct sowing and minimal care. Its large blooms are followed by ornamental, round seed pods, highly valued by florists for fresh and dried arrangements. Fast-growing and architectural, ‘Black Swan’ brings bold elegance and structure to any planting scheme.

  • Self-seeds lightly for future seasons

How to Sow

Direct Sow (recommended):

  • Sow early spring (March–May) or late summer–autumn (August–September)
  • Scatter seeds thinly onto raked soil; cover very lightly
  • Maintain moisture until germination
  • Thin seedlings to 25–30 cm apart

Indoor Sowing (possible but not ideal):

  • Use deep pots to protect taproots
  • Sow in darkness at ~20°C
  • Transplant only when very small

Note: Breadseed poppies dislike transplanting. Direct sowing gives best results.

Growing Tips

  • Requires well-drained soil — excellent drainage prevents root rot
  • Water deeply but infrequently
  • Slugs love young seedlings — protect early growth
  • Remove spent blooms to extend flowering or leave them for pods
  • Once flowering finishes, pods can be harvested or left to self-seed

Cut Flowers & Pods

  • Cut when blooms are half-open
  • Sear stem ends 7–10 seconds for vase conditioning
  • Vase life: 2–3 days (pods last indefinitely)
  • Pods dry beautifully for long-term décor

Perfect For

  • Cottage & informal gardens
  • Bold summer borders
  • Dried floral work
  • Naturalistic & meadow plantings
  • Statement garden moments

Hands free toy!!!
This is one of my dogs absolute favorite toys. I have a German shepherd husky mix that is notorious for destroying his toys. This one has stood the test !!! Have had it for about a month and we have played rough with it. The battery lasts forever. It’s such an easy toy too. Stuck under the couch?? It’ll eventually bounce its way out. Dog nudging and you need some space, pop this this on and it’s like a magic trick lol. My dog gets so excited when I pick it up because he knows I’ll turn it on. Sometimes, he will bounce it hoping it will turn on lol. Stronglyyyyyyy recommend.

Might be good for some playful dogs
My dog likes to play fetch with a rubber ball and figured I would give this one a tray as it moves on its own. It is a little on the larger size, so this is likely going to be for a large dog. My dog is about 30 pounds and it was too large of a ball for his mouth. You can open up the ball and set it to bounce on its own by hitting a switch. It will bounce all around and is very quiet. However, my dog is a little nervous and he freaked out at it moving. I ended up giving it to a friend and she said her dog loves chasing around her house and outside. It is a great idea and good for some dogs, but not if your dog is a little skittish.

Fun dog toy!
First, I was impressedby the quality of this ball. It seems quite well made. The adult twists it open, it's tight enough I know my dog cannot open it. Note - there are warnings it is dangerous for a dog to get to the inside. That noted, I would always supervise. There are two choices of modes, one more intense. Hold to activate your choice and tightly put back together. It worked right away, vibrating and shaking. The humans greatly enjoyed, especially a child. My dog, a bit fearful but curious. So we will slowly introduce to her. The is a USB cord included for charging, which is nice. Overall a fun item!

Fun
Great product and works as advertised. My dog is small and was not that interested in it, but my black Labrador was all about it. Simple to use and easy to charge. It’s durable and has lasted against my lab so far.
