🌱 Growing Instructions
Sowing: Direct sow outdoors in late fall or very early spring for best results. Poppies do not transplant well and perform best when sown directly where they will grow.
Planting Depth: Press seeds gently into the soil surface - do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
Spacing: Thin seedlings to 15-18 inches apart for optimal bloom size.
Light: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil
Harvesting Seed Pods: For dried arrangements, harvest after petals have dropped and pods have started to dry. The unique, decorative pods are highly sought after for crafts and dried florals.
