Papaver somniferum ‘Lilac Pompom’ | Breadseed Poppy | Feathered Poppy
Papaver somniferum ‘Lilac Pompom’ is a breathtaking laciniatum-type poppy valued for its large, deeply fringed, fully double blooms in an enchanting soft lilac shade.

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

Good quality. Decent price.
Style: Fox, Raccoon, Squirrel
The small size is perfect for my 13# dog, but I was somehow under the impression that one squeaker was in the head while the other was in the tail (and that might be the case for rhe larger size), but one us in the main body, with the other in the tail. The head is flat, and there's no way to push the sqeaker in the body up into the head.
Ordinarily, this wouldn't matter -- and my dog LOVES the one I gave him so far; he's squeaking up a storm! -- but I bought these toys specifically so I could fill the (presumably empty, but in reality not) body between head and tail with chopped up pool noodles so my paraplegic dog could take it into the water treadmill treatment he's starting in a couple weeks. I wanted something that would float and be largely waterproof (no fluff inside in case he drops it in the water), that he could hold in his mouth instead of wearing a muzzle.
I've rated these toys 4 stars because he does love them, they seem well made, and they're pretty affordable. I would buy them again, though not for the same purpose. (He hates rubber toys, so this was my last hope. Lol?)

Longest lasting dog toys we’ve purchased.
Style: Fox, Raccoon, Squirrel
In 2020, we purchased these for our 6 month old puppy who was repeatedly destroying all of her toys. Christmas 2025, I gifted our dog a stuffed toy purchased from a local dog store. It was destroyed within an hour. Later that day, I found one of these little squirrels that we purchased FIVE years ago - still in action, a bit worse for the wear, but still very much loved by our dog. I decided to purchase another pack of these as they are clearly winners.

The Ad got me, the reality didn't
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
Directly from the ad- "Exclusive Noisemakers - Each large toy includes 3 high-quality round squeakers to deliver more sound to keep your best friend entertained.". Now my neighbor bought this squirrel with three high-quality squeakers nearly a year ago. It's ragged and tattered I just recently sewed it up for him where he chewed the one leg odd, but those three noise makers are still squeaking. Whe I got my pup, I immediately went to buy one and they were no longer selling them, so I've been on a search for one or an equivalent. These are not.
There's no stuffing to get all over the place when your pup breaks into it, a plus. However the squeakers weren't particularly loud and were silenced in a few hours. Two were dead and the remaining one was very well on its way. The toy itself was pretty much intact but that had more to do with the lack of attention from the dog than how rugged the toy is. He'll pick it up once in a while but it certainly didn't meet my expectations.
The good thing is that there are three of them so I can give him some brief excitement in the future. Wouldn't buy again.

Strong Chewer Friendly Toy
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
My dog is a rough chewer and these last a really long time (clearly since this beaver's face is long gone! The no stuffing is a win too for cleaning up afterwards.
