Planting Tips:
Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked or in late fall for earlier blooms the following season. Poppies dislike transplanting, so direct seeding is recommended. Scatter seeds over finely prepared soil and gently press them into the surface, as light helps promote germination. Keep the soil lightly moist until seedlings emerge. Thin plants to provide good air circulation. Allow some flowers to mature and drop seed if you'd like natural reseeding for future seasons.
