Thanks George. I do know how to sow them, but I'm wondering if they are viable seeds to begin with to sow, and has anyone even succesfully grown the blue poppy herb seeds. Do you have first-hand experience with these specific seeds? TY

If you mean Persian blue aka breadseed poppy aka papaver somniferum from the spice aisles of grocery stores, yes they do germinate. The one year I sowed from a spice jar though, I found the bloom colors mixed, pale and not especially inspiring - I buy named seed if I'm going to sow annual poppies.

If you were looking for the true blue perennial poppy, meconopsis, you won't find it in edible spices.

The herb name comes from the color of the seed NOT the flower.
