where can I buy wild poppy seeds to plant around my garden?

I saw a field of grain full of poppies as 'weeds' the other day. They looked lovely. I have tried planting red poppy seeds at home but nothing grew. where can I buy red poppy seeds in UK?

1. Here are links to Thompson & Morgan and Chiltern Seeds with all of their Papavers. Take a look and see which ones you like. You most likely saw Papaver rhoeas. http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/quick-index/p http://www.edirectory.co.uk/chilternseeds/pages/default.asp?mt=c&d=p&senc=CBBXBIECBX I find I have the best success with Papavers when I sow them into a seed flat and then transplant into a 4" pot when they are large enough to do so. When they are well established in the 4", I then put them out into the garden. I still lose some but it's the most successful way for me. Good luck. :)
