🌱 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.

💡 Growing Tips

• Allow some flowers to go to seed - they'll self-sow for next year's dramatic display
• Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers (if not saving for seed pods)
• Plant in drifts or masses for maximum visual impact
• Pairs beautifully with white or pale pink flowers for contrast
• Excellent companion to other cottage garden favorites
