Poppy cross polination problems?

onetwothreetim

I usually only plant perennials, but this year I decided to buy several types of annual poppies because of their reseeding ability.

I plan to make a single bed with all of the varieties (five or six) planted close together. This will allow me to decide which will work in my area without taking up a lot of valuable space.

I intend to save the seeds for replanting. I was wondering if anyone has experience with annual poppies and cross-pollination?

Is cross pollination a problem with annual poppies? Would anyone have any suggestions or techniques to prevent this (in closely planted beds) if it is a problem?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Tim
