Where are poppy seeds sold?

Poppy seeds include several varieties of the plant from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) to several hundred varieties of ornamental poppies, both annual and perennial.

The shopping aisle at your grocery store will provide poppy seeds for cooking. Garden shops and seed catalogues will provide the ornamental seeds for your garden.

Interestingly the poppy seed for cooking from the grocery store or spice aisle is from the opium poppy.
