Our native poppys grow when they are disturbed, so try threatening and swearing at them ;DOOPS nearly forgot, get a book on tibetan swearwords, just in case they do not understand english.
I theorised that in their native landscape the seed must not just get cold, I think they must get frozen!Last night I put the packet in the freezer and sowed them today.
Ive even bought the plant from the nursery and lost it during the first year
