I do not have information about state laws but I am pretty sure that they are legal to grow for ornamental purposes in every state. Otherwise seed catalogs would have a notice that they can’t be shipped to this, that, or the other state. I have seen a lot of catalogs and never saw any such shipping restriction.

Here is an example of an online catalog that specializes in different poppy species and cultivars including Papaver somniferum:

I suppose you could call them and ask. If anyone would know with certainty it would be a retailer who specializes in them. They would not be risking violating any laws by shipping an illegal product.

I do know that it is a Federal offense, and a serious one to grow them for other than ornamental gardening.

I’ve grown all sorts of poppies here in Massachusetts including Papaver somniferum. Lots of people grow them.

What is the legal status of Papaver Somniferum for gardening purposes in Georgia?
I have looked, but cannot find any information on the legal status of the Papaver Somniferum plant for growing in Georgia. Most states allow growing for garden flower purposes but I won’t do it unless I can find a definite legal statute. Can someone point me to a specific law regarding the state of Georgia?

What are the advantages of vegetative fermentation over modern methods such as freezing, drying and canning?

Hello from London …
Hello from London Ontario Canada! I got hooked on your videos a few weeks ago, they are terrific. Any new field trips coming up soon? And one more thing, you had a video last year on planting canteloupe but i don’t think you had a video showing the end result, would you be able to make a one on harvesting- maybe a bunch of different things at the end of growing season but especially melons? It would be cool to see more videos highlighting the fruits of your labour. Thanks
