Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water:Sow seeds directly into a finely textured seedbed in full sun as early in spring as ground can be worked. Weed and water young seedlings carefully. Mature plants can handle dry conditions but appreciate regular water in hot summer locations. Poppies make good cut flowers if brought indoors just as buds begin to open. Prolong bloom by picking off spent flowers to keep them from setting seed.
Planting & Growing: Plant as early as possible in spring, as poppies can handle frost and bloom best and longest when plants get a good start in cool weather. In mild winter climates, poppies can also be sown in fall. To help space the fine seeds, mix with dry sand before sowing. Scatter seeds thinly and cover lightly with fine soil. Keep seedbed moist as seedlings emerge over 7 - 14 days. Thin early if seedlings are crowded; final spacing should be 6 - 8" apart.

Sowed in very early spring (basically late winter sowing), then transplanted to a raised bed that doesn’t get sun all day (zone 7). The colors and ruffled petals have been the prettiest poppy I’ve ever seen! I will try fall and winter sowing with this one. I plan on sowing as many of these seeds as I can get. Will definitely be buying more!
My wife is waiting for spring to plant them. She loves all kinds of puppies, and we never knew there were so many different kinds.
