Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds thinly in prepared soil where they are to flower, covering lightly with fine soil. Keep soil moist during germination. Thin seedlings to 30 to 40 cm apart when large enough to handle. Poppies dislike transplanting, so direct sowing is recommended. For successive flowering, sow at intervals during spring.

 

Grow and Maintenance

 

Water during dry spells and remove spent blooms to encourage tidy growth. Allow some seed heads to ripen if naturalising is desired. Poppies thrive in sunny positions and poor soils, requiring little maintenance once established.
